HD 315 - The Art of Observation


3 credits
Observation is a basic teaching and assessment tool in early childhood education and a necessary skill in the field of counseling. When you observe a child: What do you see? What do you look for and why? How do you interpret what you are seeing? How do you translate what you have observed into goals for intervention? Participants will observe children and adults, share and evaluate frameworks for observation, and get feedback on observational skills.
