CHLD DV 201 — Observation, Assessment, & Documentation to Support Young Children & Families
This course provides an examination of developmentally appropriate techniques for observing, documenting, and assessing the development of young children to inform curriculum planning and promote positive teaching strategies. The course emphasizes a strengths-based approach to assessment that includes building partnerships with families and professional colleagues. Self-reflection is a major component of the course. Students will also critically examine observation and assessment biases and unpack the importance of objectivity when working with young children from diverse backgrounds. Ten observation hours of young children in an early childhood education setting are required for the course. Writing assignments and presentations, as appropriate to the discipline, are part of the course.
