Documentation

Documenting The Growth And Education Of Young Children

Documentation...the process of supporting decisions with evidence or decisive information. This is especially important when active, integrated learning experiences are occurring in a classroom. When teachers carefully collect, analyze, interpret, and display evidence of learning, they are better able to understand how children learn. In addition, they can help parents appreciate the value of what is happening in their classrooms.

This workshop will help you learn how to document and assess the development of the young children in your classroom. We will discuss:

The benefits and drawbacks of many different approaches to observation
Methods for recording observations (portfolio....etc.)
How to identify behaviors to look for when assessing children's development
How to share your assessments with the parents in your classroom

Each student will have access to an online classroom where we will meet once a week. In addition, a workshop web site is provided where they will have access to:

Downloadable files

Class polls

Communication with each other through the class message board

Pictorial examples of many of the activities

At the end of the workshop, students will have gained a new appreciation for assessment in the classroom along with a HUGE resource of activities, ideas, and web sites to help put into action what they have learned.
