ECD 190 — Observation and Assessment of Young Children’s Development
This course provides students with skills and methods of observing young children and their environment. Through formal and informal observations, students will develop a basic understanding of children’s development. Students will reflect on the purposes of assessment including: (1) making sound decisions to support children’s learning, (2) identification of concerns for typical development, (3) evaluation of environments and program. The observation lab portion of this class will require two hours of observation outside of class time per week. The lab experience will be with preschool aged children. For online courses some individual meetings may be required.
