Gathering Information About Children's Needs

Post by kk89 » Sun Oct 11, 2015 3:42 pm

Q)List three ways educators could gather information about children’s needs, interests and abilities. Once you have formed a list briefly explain how this information could be used to enhance relationships and inform program planning.

Answer so far......
-Sustained, shared conversations with children
-Through observing children in play as well as participating in children's play
-Scaffolding or Reflective practice
-Through Observations using the Learning Outcomes

These are my list of answers so far...Am i on the right track...

Kind regards

Yes, you're on the right track! :thumbup:

- observations
- talking with individual child
- conversations with parents
- parent input and feedback forms
- information on child enrolment forms
- talking to other educators

Hope this helps,
