The art of awareness : how observation can transform your teaching / by Deb Curtis and Margie Carter.

Curtis, Deb. (Author). Carter, Margie, 1942- (Added Author).

Summary:

"The key to observing children, state authors Deb Curtis and Margie Carter in The Art of Awareness, is using observation as more than just a teaching technique. Observing children closely provides a new way of thinking about learning and teaching, a way of making children visible as they are, not just as we want them to be. Observant teachers will find more than techniques for watching or taking notes about children--they will discover a different way of being with children. Featuring nine Observation Study Sessions, The Art of Awareness offers ideas, activities, and experiences--much more than just a set of checklists and facts to learn. Chapters cover seven different aspects of children's lives and how to observe them, as well as tips for gathering and preparing documentation."--Back cover.
