ECED 2410 - Observation, Documentation, and Assessment of Young Children


Credits: 3

This course is designed to increase objectivity in observing and interpreting children’s behavior, to observe developmental characteristics and to increase awareness of typical and atypical patterns of behavior for all children including those with disabilities, developmental delays, language and/or cultural differences. Observation and participation placements are provided for the study of young children at the College’s Laboratory School or at an area NAEYC accredited center with the approval of the professor. The students will observe and participate in a center to gain experience and competency in working with young children including those with disabilities, developmental delays, language and/or cultural differences. Weekly seminars devoted to issues in observing and understanding all children’s development will extend the individual’s observing and participating experiences. A minimum of 45 hours of field work is required for this course.
