Early educators watch children all the time but we often forget the power of planned observations.  Observation is a form of authentic assessment and allows us to learn about ourselves as teachers and the children we work with. 

Strong observation skills can give us a wide range of information, including:

• Determining the needs of individual children or group
• assessing children’s skills & abilities
• supporting your teaching

In this class you will learn:

• how to design and use different types of observations
• the importance of staying objective
• how observation can guide your practice
• how to develop curriculum off your observations
