Abstract	How do we help teachers grow in accordance with their ethical ideals? Specifically, how do assessment practices fit within teachers' sense of themselves as caring and professional early childhood educators? I pursue these questions by drawing on a collaborative blog. In doing so, I offer portraits of novice early childhood teachers as ethical agents committed to care and professionalism. I showcase how daily appeals to the developmental approach and milestone tracking informed these teachers' professional ethics. I, then, describe how undergoing and reflecting upon alternative approaches to assessment served as a disruption, pushing the teachers to expand their conception of assessment to observe both who the child is alongside what they can do. In closing, I call for teacher education that teaches a range of assessment practices within a context that "confirms" the teachers' ethical ideals. (As Provided).
