The Observation and Assessment training is designed to help early childhood educators understand how intentional observation and assessment support effective teaching and informed decision-making. Participants will explore how observation fits naturally into daily classroom routines and how assessment information can be collected efficiently without disrupting instruction. This training addresses objective observation, documentation methods, portfolio development, and the assessment cycle. Educators will learn how to organize and use assessment data to guide planning, support individual children’s development, and meet program and compliance requirements. This course is appropriate for lead teachers and early childhood professionals seeking to strengthen observation practices, improve assessment organization, and use assessment information meaningfully to support teaching and learning.
