In this workshop we will discover methods for observing and assessing in the early childhood learning setting.  Young children learn in a variety of ways.  How can educators know what students know and how can we help them continue on their journey?  Through observing children's play and formal assessments early childhood educators can learn what children know and further their learning. Attendees will practice taking both formal and informal observations and learn how this data can drive curriculum and classroom activities.

Class meets every other Wednesday from 6:30-8:30pm on Zoom for 5 total sessions.
