Observation and Assessment

Catalog description

Prepares Early Childhood students to observe, record, and assess young children’s developmental learning. This is for the purpose of planning appropriate programs, learning environments, interactions, and adopting for “individual” differences. The major focus will be to assist the beginning student in learning to observe, assess, plan, and implement strategies for the individualized learning of each child. Observation will be required in specifically collaborating early childhood programs that will expose the student to the application of the developmental continuum in a professional manner.
