LAP™-3 Manual - 3rd Edition

I've been using this manual alongside the LAP system for a few months now, and the section on scoring and interpreting results finally cleared up questions I'd had for ages. It's from 2004 but the assessment guidance still holds up well for the kids I work with.

The assessment guidance is laid out in such a clear, practical way that I finally feel confident tracking each child’s developmental milestones. The observation examples in this edition make it easy to translate what I see in the classroom into the scoring system.

I was worried the 2004 publication date would make this feel dated, but the guidance for organizing assessment observations is still laid out so clearly. The step-by-step structure on scoring and interpreting results made it easy to pull actionable info for my classroom planning.
