Observations and Assessments: The What, Why and How?

Instructor: Janna Mason

Nevada Registry Approved: 2.0 Hours

CKA: Observation & Assessment

Through discussion, role play, and demonstration this class will explore the reasons for and uses of observation in preschool classrooms. We will look at different types of assessment and use them as well as observation as tools, to understand how they assist in determining child learning outcomes.

Training Objectives:

1 . By the end of the session, participants will identify what makes observation an important tool.

2 . By the end of the session, participants will recognize how to do simple assessments on a daily basis.

3 . By the end of the session, participants will demonstrate why observation and assessment are important in early care and education.

Each professional development session offered by The Children’s Cabinet utilizes a knowledge check to ensure that our participants understand our training objectives and our instructors are providing a comprehensive learning experience. You can expect to receive a three question quiz or test at the end of each training.
