Early Learning Assessment Specialist
Learning progression, observation, and play assessment
Ji-eun Choi grounds toy and activity analysis in first-principles learning theory: attention precedes encoding, repetition builds fluency, and social context shapes meaning. She studied human development at Tufts University and has supported observation-based assessment systems in Seattle early learning centers. Her writing explains how caregivers can read play behaviors before choosing puzzles, art tools, pretend props, or literacy materials.
