The Art of Awareness: How Observation Can Transform Your Teaching
The key to observing children, state authors Deb Curtis and Margie
Carter in The Art of Awareness, is to know that observation is 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.
Featuring nine "Observation Study Sessions," The Art of Awareness is designed to offer ideas, activities, and experiences, as opposed to just a set of checklists and facts to learn. Chapters cover observing for seven different aspects of children¹s lives as well as tips for gathering and preparing documentation.
Observation requires a commitment to systematic study and ongoing practice, write Curtis and Carter. The Art of Awareness is an inspiring and practical look at how to see the children‹and what they see‹in your care.
