Part 2: Observation Comparison Paper
Write a 525- to 700-word reflection paper in which you compare the 2 observations completed and:
Describe each setting and the time of day observed. Include the school name, type of program, age/grade level, what the students were participating in at the time of observation, and the level of student engagement.
Consider the physical development of students at each observation. How were they the same? How were they different? What DAPs did you observe?
Consider the cognitive development of students at each observation. How were they the same? How were they different? What DAPs did you observe?
Consider the emotional and social development of students in each setting. How were they the same? How were they different? What DAPs did you observe?
Explain how media or technology supported the teacher’s goals or the children’s development. If not observed, what media or technology would you suggest to the teacher and why?
Explain anything surprising you noticed in either of the observations. What insight did you gain from these observations? How will you apply it to your future role as a teacher?
