Part 2


Three insights gain from Developing Child:
1.       Zambian Early Childhood Development implemented comprehensive assessment tool was used to determine the effects of ongoing anti-malaria on children’s development (developing child, 2012). The initiative measured anti-malaria's impact. The children were assessed in all areas of development.
2.       It also had positive effects on children’s health. The mortality rate for children under age 5 declined. The percentage of children under age 5 with fever caused by malaria dropped.
3.        Due to language barriers across Zambian, the assessment presented challenges of fairness in being culturally appropriate and addressing the academic gap appropriately.

  1. Audrey- The issues with the language barrier caught me off guard, I know we deal with that here and I have discussed that in many classes especially when it pertains to assessments. Sometimes children understand more than we know due to language barriers but I am glad that they are aware of it being an issue.
