Synopsis

Week by Week: Plans for Documenting Children's Development, 4e is a text that not only presents the technical aspects of many various methods of documentation, it also reviews domains of development and the efficiency of each method to capture important information. This text is an all-purpose guide for students and practitioners to gather meaningful developmental information. The new online companion contains forms and additional resources that will assist in using the child assessments to guide curriculum planning. Also added to this new edition are 'It Happened To Me' vignettes that illustrate key points and are both entertaining as well as illustrative of the experiences of real teachers. It also includes an expanded discussion of the implications of No Child Left Behind and authentic assessment by portfolio documentation. The text can be useful for courses in observation methods, child development, curriculum planning and practicum. This text is a must-have that provides a year's plan for gathering developmental data on every child; something every classroom teacher needs.
