Children’s School Observation Notes

Objective: write a short narrative analysis of a specific event you observe within the school for the course blog.

The director of the school, Dr. Sharon Carver, will orient us and provide us with specific prompt questions. We’ll divide our group evenly among the 3’s, 4’s, and kindergarten classes in the school. Please use the time in the school to generally observe the physical attributes of the classroom and activities, then observe closely to identify a particular interaction, event, or activity which reveals specific details of the children’s engagement and skills.

The Children’s School Classroom Observation Session guide applies in general. Please watch for evidence of autonomy, initiative, and industry, and use that breakdown as the basis of your analysis.
