In a time when early childhood teachers are feeling overloaded with documentation, it is time to streamline how we are assessing and planning for children’s learning.

Watch Barbara Watson (Ph.D) who explores the practical aspects of incorporating learning notes into your approach, offering a simplified yet powerful means to assess and plan for children's learning. Learn how to seamlessly integrate observation and documentation to gain a deeper understanding of a child's unique strengths, dispositions, and learning progressions.

In this webinar Barbara explores how to leverage learning notes as a dynamic tool for communication among educators and parents, fostering a collaborative approach to learning and teaching that will streamline assessment and learning documentation.
