Rasmussen University Observation Paper
Description
Scenario
As a lead educator in your program, you ensure that you complete regular observations for all children in your care, seeing them as individuals. Now, you have been asked to conduct an assessment of your own observation practices with cultural, developmental, ethical, and linguistic lenses to ensure they are truly honoring each child as an individual.
Instructions
Step One: Complete an Observation
Complete one observation/assessment using the video option below or conduct an observation in your program for a child between 6 weeks- 6 years old.
Optional video: Free Play
Select one observation method (K-W-L, anecdotal, running record, time or event sample) to use during the observation. Complete the observation using the selected method.
Step Two: Complete the Analysis
What is the child able to do for each of the domains of development?
Provide at least one objective observation for each domain of development.
Describe at least one (1) of your state learning standards (developmental outcome) and how it is witnessed in your observation.
After reading and considering the DAP Guidelines for Observation and Assessment, determine at least two ways the observation and assessment method aligned with the Guidelines. Incorporate specific examples from the observation notes.
Identify one part of the observation and assessment process that could be improved to align with the DAP Guidelines for Observation and Assessment. Describe one suggestion you can do next time to improve alignment to the Guidelines.
Specifically address how cultural and language considerations might need to be incorporated into the observation practice. Describe how the chosen observation method might need to support cultural and language differences with children you might observe? Offer one suggestion for what you can do next time to improve in this area.
- Determine which ethical considerations you need to include for future observations. Describe how the chosen observation method supports or does not support ethical assessment practice? Offer one suggestion for what you
rcan do next time to improve in this area.
