The Challenge of Observing the Very Youngest

At this year's NAEYC Annual Conference in Washington, DC, our SFL staff members Kamna Seth and Mari Blaustein will present on the challenges of observing infants and toddlers. “I don’t know what to do!” Overcoming the challenges of infant/toddler assessment is scheduled on Saturday 21, 2009 at 2:00PM-3:30PM.

PreschoolFirst would love to hear your thoughts on this hot topic--especially from care teachers and administrators who face this challenge daily.

Do you do any screening of the infants and toddlers in your care? If not, why?

Are you expected to do any kind of "careful" observation or record what a child does when?

If so, what is your biggest challenge? Staff expertise, too few staff, time, parent resistance? Others?

Please share your thoughts!
