Evaluating Routines and Transitions in Infant and Toddler Care and Education Settings

 

Your Observations

  • Make arrangements to observe in an infant and a toddler setting.
  • Share your assignment/goals with the Host Teacher in each setting. These include: 
    • Observe routines and transitions related to greeting time, meals and  snacks, diapering, napping, moving to new activities, the end of the  day, and any other routines and transitions that involve children.
    • Observe teacher-child conversations and interactions, aspects of  safety, and the ways routines and transitions foster respectful,  responsive relationships.
    • Note questions you have about routines and transitions in the setting.
    • Engage in a reflective conversation with each Host Teacher about  your observation experience, sharing questions that came up for you as  well as the following: 
      • Please describe your setting for me.
      • What do you see as the role of transitions and routines in your program?
      • What insights can you share with me about transitions and routines from your experience that may be helpful to practitioners?
      • What’s working well in your setting regarding fostering toddlers’  healthy development and contributing to respectful and responsive  relationships between early childhood professionals and the children  through routines and transitions?
      • What would you like to improve?
    • Note: For your conversations, you may also want to  ask about anything you thought was particularly well done or a  routine/transition you weren’t able to observe because of timing such as  greeting and/or end of day. You may have a question about something the  teacher did or said, or about a child’s reaction. Be sure to take good  notes.

Use the notes from your graphic organizer, the host teacher’s input,  and the resources for both topics to write between 5-6 pages.  Include the following:
