This course examines the basic principles of observation and assessment of children from birth to grade four. Students will use systematic observation tools to observe, record and interpret child’s behavior and develop plans to enhance the child’s development or improve behavior. The use of traditional and alternative assessment practices will be explored including commercial assessment programs, performance based assessments, teacher developed checklists, rubrics, and portfolios. Emphasis will be placed on documenting developmental progress and linking assessment to program and standards. Students will actively engage in the use of systematic observation tools both in class and in an early childhood classroom setting. Thirty hours of observation a semester in an approved early care and education setting is required.
