ECD Site Visit Practitioner Observation Tool and Supplementary Observation Guidelines
The Observation Tool is an assessment template designed for recording observations of ECD practitioners in action. It includes a section for observing principals. The Supplementary Resource gives the assessor/ observer guidelines on what to look for in terms of best practice.
These resources can be used for quality assurance purposes linked to on-site observation of practitioner practices, or for assessment of workplace teaching practice. The Observation Tool can also serve as a data collection or gap analysis tool on a practitioner cohort.
Developed for the ECD Quality Reflection Pilot in 2016, for mediators to use on site visits to gather observed data on practitioner levels of application of knowledge and skills.
