Answer to Question 1

Answer: Cooper identifies eight principles to help guide teachers in carrying out literacy assessment in the classroom. Language arts assessment is ongoing, part of the instruction, authentic, and a collaborative reflective process. It is multidimensional, and accommodates culture, developmental, and learner factors. It identifies students' strengths and needs, and reflects an understanding of how students acquire and use language literacy.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The checklist can reflect a continuum of behaviors that you might expect to encounter with students engaged in the learning experience. As with anecdotal records, checklists can provide information about student performance as well as your instruction.
