A minimum of four observations: Use the observation handouts to record four observations. Include the elements of the observation (Follow the DRDP & Observations Overview. for directions on how and what to include in the observations) Provide specifics and document what you observe on Fine Motor and Gross Motor Development.

Chapter 4 addresses sections 4-4; the children’s physical development, Intentional Teaching for Physical Development, and Play and Observing Physical Development in Play. So, let’s practice observing the children’s Physical Development in the following videos and follow the instructions. The assignment is organized into three sections as follows:

Section 1- Instructions- To watch videos (Preschool Biosocial Development Gross Motor AND Preschool Biosocial Development-Fine Motor )

Section 2- Observations and DRDP Instructions:

Section 3- Reflective format and organization instruction.

The assignment is as follows:

Section 1- Instructions: Videos:

1. Watch the two series of videos and select a minimum of four videos. Include each video’s title on each of the anecdotal observations
2. To create a child name (An imaginary name that you will be using on the observations)
3. Focus on a child in each video, and include the child’s imaginary name
4. Submit the four observations attached to the assignment.

Section 2- Observations and DRDP Instructions:

1. A minimum of four observations: Use the observation handouts to record four observations. Include the elements of the observation (Follow the DRDP & Observations Overview. for directions on how and what to include in the observations) Provide specifics and document what you observe on Fine Motor and Gross Motor Development.
2. Students will record two observations for eachphysical development- (2) Fine Motor Development and (2) Gross Motor Development, and Submit the four observations.
3. Based on your observation, use the DRDP- Developmental Domains-Physical Development and Health to rate the child
4. Based on your observations, use the DRDP (2015)An Early Childhood Developmental Continuum Preschool Fundamental View, and Rate your child on Developmental Domains- Physical and Health 1-4 ( pages 26-29) (Review each PD HLTH Measure and descriptors to rate the child from the videos)
5. After rating the child, submit a completed copy or a clear image of each PD HLTH 1-4 measure ( pages – 26-29) for review and grading.
6. Refer to DRDP & Observations Overview PowerPoint or DRDP (pp.#5)
7. Use the observation handout Observation Worksheet– for the four anecdotal/observations Two anecdotal/observations must be typed and two with a piece of evidence such as a picture/photograph, or drawing, and explain about the evidence- what the child is doing, materials, etc. Follow the PowerPoint directions for the observation guidelines.

Section 3- Reflective writing Instructions:

1. A summary of three in-depth paragraphs- APA Style
2. Describe/explain your observations and the rating on the DRDP on the Two Developmental Domains- Physical Development and Health 1-4
3. How, would you use the child’s assessment rating outcome/results and anecdotal/observations to enhance the learning environment or curriculum (activities) Provide two specific examples? For example to include t some materials in the indoor or outdoor learning environment or materials during large group movement activity, etc)
4. Share your learning thoughts about this assignment.

Videos:

Video Set- Preschool Biosocial Development – Gross Motor (Minimum of two observations, one typed and one with supportive evidence)

Video Set- Preschool Biosocial Development-Fine Motor (Minimum of two observations, one typed and one with supporting evidence) Save the observations and the DRDP measures for the portfolio assignment

Resources:

• • Observation Handout: Observation Worksheet– This is a Word document so, download the Observation Worksheet, type the observations, and include the evidence with explanations. One typed observation and one with evidence, for Fine Motor Development and Gross Motor Development ( A total of four observations)
  • DRDP (2015) An Early Childhood Developmental Continuum Preschool Fundamental View(To observe the Non-conditional measures) Review the Introductions to DRDP 2015 ( pages 1-16)

Assignment Format & Organization

• Reflection- A minimum of three in-depth paragraphs and follow the APA style- (double space, font, and margin).
