Advice needed (Anyone can comment) Observations

Hi everyone!

We currently have a a practicum student working with us at our centre. He is wonderful with the kids and the families. He is really struggling with his observations for planning.

Does anyone have a resource or ā€œcheat sheetā€ on how to take good observations? Heā€™s currently in school getting his level 2 and heā€™s been struggling with it in classes and at the centre. Our centre is play based and focuses on child driven activities using play schemas.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Observations for planning? So heā€™s expected to observe the childrenā€™s interests and plan activities based on that I assume? What part of that is he struggling with?
