for each response, use examples.

1. Compare and contrast embedded observation and criterion observation. Explain the purpose and give at least one example for each.

2.Explain anecdotal records. Be sure to include some benefits and obstacles of using anecdotal records to document observations. Lastly, what are some ways to help document more efficiently and effectively using this tool?

3.During observations, it is important to remain un-bias, and document as you see and hear what students are doing. Explain two reasons why teachers need to document student learning this way. How can they use the information they collect to improve their classrooms?

4. Often times, observers will take notes organized by developmental domain/classroom "area." Explain the benefits of taking these type of notes, and give 3 examples of different domains/areas of learning and development you would observe. For each one, list what you may be looking for/what you may potentially observe, and why it would be important to document.
