Nilsen's WEEK BY WEEK: PLANS FOR DOCUMENTING CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT, 8th Edition, helps pre-service and in-service teachers manage detailed documentation of student development and achievement while attending to the other functions necessary to keep children safe and actively involved in learning. It describes various methods to document observations of children for individualized curriculum planning and authentic measures of development as well as a week-by-week plan for systematically gathering developmental data on each child in all developmental areas. Integrating NAEYC Standards and Developmentally Appropriate Practices, each chapter focuses on an area of development from infants to early school age, including children with special needs and dual-language learners. Examples, practical tips, forms and step-by-step guidelines make this a must-have resource for new and experienced teachers.
