In this 2 hour session we take a look at room arrangement, materials, equipment and activities that support the observation and documentation learned in TS GOLD. We use the ERS Inventory (ITERS and ECERS) to take an objective look at your own classroom set up. Do you have everything you need to outfit each center to maximize children’s experience and learning. You can set the stage to see the skills and behaviors listed in the 36 Objectives for learning and Development in TS GOLD. Use the activities in Gold and Frog Street Press to create opportunities for children to learn as they play and you document that learning. Learn ways to organize those experiences so you can see multiple skills among multiple childre at the same time, saving time and energy while maintaining accuracy and objectivity.
