Early Childhood Observation and Assessment: Communicating Children’s Learning and Development with Parents
This session will discuss the importance of documenting children’s learning and development that is observed through their work and play. Photos, videos, and written anecdote documentation provide both teachers and parents with unique windows into young children’s progress. These assessment practices also provide parents with an important view of all that occurs daily in an early childhood program and reinforces its high-quality, intentional practices.
