WEEK BY WEEK: PLANS FOR DOCUMENTING CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT, Fifth
Edition, addresses a dilemma facing pre-service and in-service
teachers--how to manage detailed, meaningful documentation on their
students' development and achievements while attending to the other
functions necessary to keep children safe and actively involved in
learning. This all-purpose guide provides a concrete, systematic
plan for recording each child's development in all developmental
areas, incorporating material on observation methods and
techniques, principles of child development, and appropriate
practice. Technical aspects of various methods of documentation are
presented, as are reviews of the efficiency of each method in
capturing important information. Real-life examples, practical
tips, forms with clear instructions, and step-by-step guidelines
for gathering observational information and building a portfolio
for each child make the book useful and relevant to teachers in
training as well as practicing professionals.
