What questions do you have about the Documentation #1 assignment? How can I further support you?
What have you been thinking and wondering about pedagogical documentation? Use 1-2 key words.
What kinds of "decisions" are made within ECE learning environments?
How can the process of pedagogical documentation inform these decisions?
In the reflective planning cycle, educators observe children, reflect on their experiences with them and others, and (a) to their interests and strengths.
You observed three children making patterns and shapes at the sand table using their fingers and sticks, such as circles and zigzag lines. How might you respond to these children's experiences?
Limit the time they can spend at the sand table.
Replace the sand table with a water table.
Bring a book with designs that can further inspire the children's ideas.
Replace the sand table with a light table for further stimulation.
What else can you do to respond to these children with sand play (consider programming, materials, changes to environments, and routines)?
You and the children have been documenting their interactions with the plants outside - asking questions and closely examining their features. This documentation could help you:
Attend a workshop on integrating STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) into ECE
Attend a workshop on promoting inquiry-based learning
Reach out to a local Indigenous community to learn about plants as medicines
All of the above
How do we decide whether or not to respond at all, but rather, keep watching?
Using raw documentation/floorbooks can help us:
send it home for families to read with their children
see what is of importance to the children
assess children's academic performance
keep track of attendance and daily schedules in the classroom
