Students will investigate the interrelatedness of all domains of development with current theory and practice in early childhood in order to understand the value of both formal and informal observations. Students will utilize the knowledge gained from class lecture to complete weekly observations of children, record and analyze their observations, then collect documentation, with the purpose of completing a child study portfolio that assesses the development and learning of a child. Students will spend time observing children in early childhood classrooms in order to complete assignments.
