Child Observations Recording

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I was just wondering 3 things.

 

How often do you observe the children in your class per week?

Do your TAs observe and record for you?

Does anyone have a good proforma you use when observing that has all the scale points on and room for notes?

 

Thank you all

In my nursery each person has 3 children a week who they do a long observation on which includes the 2 TAs. We also do post it notes on other children throughout the week.

My TA's are key workers, we all observe all children once a week but we als play with our key children on a daily basis, we collect work and make observations on the spur throughout the week. We take photos and video them all the time. We also have a meeting once a week to discuss the children what their needs are and what their next steps are as well as their emotional needs. x

Each adult has a pouch in which we pop obs, photos work etc anything we notice even if their not our key children x

I have an alphabetical list of my class and me and my TA attempt to obsrve 1 child each in the morning and 1 each in the afternoon and tick them off as we go. That way everyone gets observed regularly. Plus constant spontaneous/anecdotal observations throughout the day.
