Your Question?
Prepare a schedule to ensure that all the children that you work with are included in your observations
What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
The example that has been shown to me in the book has a table with names, method of obs, who is responsible for undertaking the ob, the area of development to be observed and the day. Except for doing observations for my assessment tasks i have not done these at my centre. We now do learning stories and have a list for the month to make sure all children have at least one learning story done for them.
Description and Message:
My question is when i plan a schedule how often do i need to observe the areas of development for each child, are all areas covered in one week or as in my book will each child have a different area to be observed weekly? Sorry if i sound vague, everyone at work that i have spoken to seems to have forgotten the finer details that i need for my assessment. I understand having a focus group each week, but how do you determine what areas to observe?
Thanks very much!
