This document presents a third-party observation form designed for evaluating early childhood education skills. It includes instructions for supervisors, a student declaration, and a detailed checklist covering various aspects of the candidate's performance in a childcare center. The form assesses the candidate's ability to arrange environments, support inquiry processes, promote belonging, address mistakes as learning opportunities, include diverse family contributions, share information with colleagues, create self-directed play environments, balance child-initiated and educator-supported learning, evaluate learning from creative experiences, modify curriculum based on evaluations, acknowledge each child’s uniqueness, respond to children’s needs, ensure inclusive assessment practices, collaborate with families and colleagues, share documentation with families, modify learning environments, co-construct meaning with children, and schedule curriculum assessments. The form also includes supplementary questions and an observation checklist for the supervisor to evaluate the candidate's communication skills, active participation facilitation, support for children's efforts, and promotion of enabling learning dispositions. Supervisors provide comments and declare the candidate's performance as satisfactory or not yet satisfactory. Desklib provides similar solved assignments for students.
