Observations and Reflections in Childhood 1st Edition by Dianne Szarkowicz

Overview

Observations and Reflections in Childhood focuses on using quality assessment, referred to as documentation, to record children’s learning and development during everyday activities.

This Australian text explains how to:

• Observe children and gather a range of documentation

• Interpret documentation using different theoretical perspectives

• Program using the strengths and interests identified in documentation

• Share documentation with others

Observations and Reflections in Childhood includes examples of best practice and personal experiences from people working in long day care, outside school hours care and family day care settings. The book is written for those who are preparing to work with children in any of these settings.
