Abstract
This chapter further discusses the implications of a study on the Fidelity of Implementation of Assessment (FOI-A) for the Battelle Developmental Inventory—Second Edition (BDI-2) across one New England state. Based on the findings of this research, the content of this chapter focuses on how checklists can be used to improve assessment practices by supporting reflective assessment practices in the field. Specifically, it presents checklists that can be used directly by EI professionals to support the administration process of the BDI-2 in goal setting, improvement in their assessment practices, and accountability. It also provides examples of how checklists support individuals and teams who administer the BDI-2 in self-reflection processes. This chapter will also discuss how directors to coaches can use observation protocols and data collection spreadsheets to support Early Intervention professionals in high-quality implementation of the BDI-2 through ongoing coaching. Finally, checklist that supports FOI-A specifically for the BDI-2 is included at the end of this chapter.
