Teachers and student teachers will find that this publication helps them get on the right track with regard to regular, quality documentation of development in their young students. It details a variety of methods for recording observations and how those methods are applied. It looks not only at the positive aspects of each method but at the drawbacks, as well. The author addresses the actual filing system for documentation and makes highly useful recommendations for sharing the results with the child and family. This is especially important in helping new professionals interact with families in a positive manner, respecting parents' primary role in the life of their child. Forms and charts for recording children's development are useful in implementing an observation method and scheduling the time to keep the plan on track.

Editorial Reviews
Review
I am most pleased with the additional topics that have been included in the revision, particularly the topics of technology, use of time, autism, and testing. I would certainly recommend this product to current and future teachers as a most concise but complete systematic plan for observation and documentation of children’s development.
I really enjoyed Nilsen’s writing style and loved the addition of stories that illustrated the points she was making. I think that the year-long systematic plan is an excellent one for new students to be exposed to and understand.

Excellent,
This review is from: Week by Week: Documenting the Development of Young Children (Paperback)
This book gives you everything you need to know if you are taking the college class that requires this book. You can't get this book for a better price anywhere brand new but Amazon. It is a must have for teachers who are trying to obtain their CDA and for parents who need to learn more about their children.

I just received this guide book for student evaluations. I am a Montessori preschool directress since 7 years and have been searching for a concise, easy to use guide for collecting my observations in an orderly and cohesive manner for sharing with parents and to pass along to my students' next teacher.

My daughter purchased this book for an independent study class that she is involved in; she has been very pleased with the book and plans on keeping it for future reference as she begins to pursue a career in elementary education.
