How to Take an Observation: From Noticing to Analysis

Facilitator: Anthony Semann

Quality Area 1: Educational program and practice
Learning stories, narratives, assessment of learning, goals for children's learning, planning cycles, summative assessment – what do these documents have in common? They all started with noticing and observing the child. If our observations of children's learnings are not founded on a clear understanding of what to write down, when to write it down, how to write it down, and what to do with it; then we are simply gathering lots and lots of information that's of no value to you, the child, or the family. This webinar is a great place to start to clarify your understandings around observing children and some of the possibilities for documentation of these observations.
