“The key to observing children is using observation as more than just a teaching technique. Observing children closely provides a new way of thinking about learning and teaching, a way of making children visible as they are, not just as we want them to be. Observant teachers will find more than techniques for watching or taking notes about children--they will discover a different way of being with children.”

This professional development opportunity invites early childhood educators and administrators to explore and deepen their understanding of child development, curriculum, and assessment through the pedagogical practice of "Learning Stories." Participants engage in reflective thinking, share observations, and collaborative planning while receiving coaching. The focus is on enhancing awareness, inquiry, and documentation to enrich teaching practices and foster a deeper understanding of children's learning.
