The Observation Log is a tool for educators to document and keep track of children's observations. It gives educators an overview of who they have observed, the type of observation used, outcomes achieved, and the date of follow-up. This record shows the cycle from the first point of observation to follow-up, which can be used to keep track of which children have been observed.
This template includes:
- Educator
- Date
- Child
- Observation Type
- Outcomes Achieved
