Defining Diego is the story of one Guatemalan adoptee and his mother, a reporter who documented their journey from his earliest steps, as they try to understand how international adoption boomed and busted, and what it all means for families like theirs, with feet in two worlds. When Laurie Stern set out to adopt a baby from Guatemala in 1999, she thought the process would be pretty straightforward. Lots of people were doing it. But the adoption was held up just as she went to Guatemala to g ...

You have heard us often discuss the shortcomings of standardized assessments in accurately determining the best ways to meet a child’s needs in the classroom. Standardized assessments are a tool, but they are not the best tool to use for every student. Today we dive into “learning stories,” observations that tell a story recognizing a child’s everyday efforts as milestones in their growth. Join us to learn more!
We are joined by Julia Koumbassa, the Professional Development Director at Educa, the first and only software platform created specifically for learning stories. She helps oversee a virtual academy of training and professional development for early childhood educators and has vast experience in early childhood education as a teacher and administrator. In her work, she has become obsessed with learning stories and how they give new and beautiful perspectives on a child’s competencies and strengths.
Show Highlights:
- Julia’s explanation of what learning stories are and how this tool was first developed in New Zealand
- The three-part format of a learning story: what happened, what the interpretation is, and what opportunities and possibilities exist
- How learning stories incorporate an assessment tool, observation tool, and planning tool all in one
- How learning stories differ greatly from other assessment tools in that they are strengths-based, positive, and empowering
- How learning stories incorporate input and responses from the child’s family members
- How learning stories become a record of adventures and growth that follows a child from year to year and teacher to teacher
- How to learn more about learning stories
