Children show what they know and can do through every day experiences. Effective early childhood teachers carefully observe children throughout the day in order to understand childrens perspectives, interpret their development, plan curriculum, and document learning.

Students will use a variety of informal observation methods that document child's development, rate a child's development using an assessment tool, and interpret and analyze assessment results to support curriculum planning and facilitate learning.
