Another POCET Science Example
POCET provides four basic activities for each of the 68 Developmental Guidelines which provide a scope and sequence of skills for Language, Literacy and Mathematics, plus five other domains of learning.
Here is an example for the Science domain:
Paper Cutouts
Have the children create paper cutouts of their entire body, one section at a time. Have them cutout the following parts: a head; an uppper body with arms, hands; a lower body with legs and feet. After they have all of the parts cut out, have them glue the parts together to create a paper cutout of their body. The cutouts might be out of proportion, but that is the beauty of the project completed by a child!

The Preschool Observation Checklist and Evaluation Tool (POCET) was created to assist early childhood educators in organizing and maintaining an assessment system to monitor each child's development and to guide instructional practices. This individualization tool is organized to support any preschool curriculum chosen for the classroom. POCET is divided into six easy steps and two binders, and includes materials to individualize instruction for up to 25 children.
