Guidelines for Preschool Observations
Please use professional language, by this I mean don’t refer to the children as kids (those are goats), this will cost you significant points, be sure to use complete sentences, and check your spelling.
Read the text material before you make your observation. Relate it to the concepts you are asked to observe. Be aware of the milestones you are going to look for in the areas of physical development, cognitive/language development, or psychosocial development before you begin.
You must include your textbook as one of your references! At the end of your observations, please follow the APA format to referencing the textbook. Your reference page should not say Works Cited (that is not APA style) it should be titled Reference (centered at the top of the page).
Referencing our Textbook using APA Formatting: (only use our textbook and the CDC handout for this assignment)
Developmental Milestones Handout. Center for Disease Control
https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/actearly/milestones/index.htmlLinks to an external site.
Paris, J., Ricardo, A., & Rymond, D. (2019). Understanding the whole child: Prenatal development through adolescence. College of the Canyons.
(make sure to indent the second line and use double spacing, this document is not allowing the indent on the textbook, the CDC reference, it is correct) See announcement Week 9 & 10 for the exact way it should look for either of these two references.
APA Formatting that I will be looking for:
normal margins & font
Text correctly referenced
Citations within your observation correctly cited
You will choose only one of the options depending on if you are doing the in-person option or the video option. Please download Option 1 if you are going to do your observation in a real preschool (In-person option). Choose Option 2 if you are doing the Video preschool observations, (if you are unable to visit an actual preschool for this assignment).
**This assignment will remain open for 1 additional week after the due date for late submissions. You can submit late (no need to message me and ask). However, full points will not be available for papers that are not submitted by the original due date. You cannot get an A on a late paper and I tend to be a bit grumpy when I grade late papers, I usually don’t leave comments on late papers. Download this assignment, fill it in the textboxes and submit your finished document. The textboxes will expand as you type in your responses.
