Early Childhood Education Skills Workbook: Observation Form Project

This document presents a third-party observation form designed for evaluating a candidate's performance in early childhood education. It includes instructions for supervisors acting as observers, emphasizing the need for relevant experience and qualifications. The form requires the observer to assess the candidate's ability to plan, develop, and implement a childcare plan, documenting the quality of their workplace performance. The document includes a student declaration, a supervisor checklist covering various aspects of the candidate's practice (such as encouraging independent engagement, supporting emotional development, and fostering creativity), and a supervisor declaration confirming the candidate's completion of the outlined tasks. The form also provides space for supervisor comments and feedback. Desklib is a great platform to find such past papers and solved assignments.
