Observation is watching and listening to learn about individual children. When teachers observe in a purposeful and intentional way, they form better relationships with children and families and become more responsive teachers. A companion to the best-selling book The Power of Observation, this workbook guides teachers through four phases of using observation to teach responsively--asking questions; watching, listening, and recording; reflecting; and responding. Its sixteen exercises are each linked to a 3-5 minute video clip. By taking you inside real classrooms, it enables you to observe children in action as they work and play, interacting with materials, other children, and adults.

This book explores the vital connection between observing and effective teaching. Much more than just a set of skills, observation is a mindset of openness and wonder that helps teachers get to know more about each child. The link between observation and building relationships is an important theme of this book.

This second edition includes expanded guidance on applying what you learn from observation into your daily practices and a new study guide. This study guide was developed based on recommendations from numerous university and community college professors who use the book as the textbook for their courses.
