Another POCET Physical Health and Safety 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 another example for the Physical Health and Safety domain:
Balance Beam
This activity is good for children to practice maintaining balance and concentrating on body control. The balance beam should be very low to the floor. Many playgrounds and multipurpose rooms have a balance beam. If a balance beam is not available, lay a long 2" x 4" board on the floor, making sure it is on a flat, non-slippery surface. Have the children practice walking on the balance beam.

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.
