This fieldwork course focuses on observation and assessment of young children. It requires supervised participation in an assigned early childhood setting (preschool to second grade) and attendance at a weekly seminar. Students will learn how to use authentic assessment and observation strategies to (1) document young children’s development, growth, play, and learning, and (2) design curriculum that promotes children’s success. Recording strategies, rating systems, child studies/portfolios, and various assessment tools are explored. Students spend a minimum of 60 hours in the field.
