Strand 6, Standard 2: Value of Play ●​ Authentic Observation

○​ Students engage in guided observational learning, either through live observation or video footage, to identify developmental milestones in areas such as motor skills, language, and social interaction. ○​ Teachers provide observation checklists, prompts, and reflection tools to scaffold accurate documentation and analysis. ○​ Students apply their understanding of developmental stages to create age-appropriate play-based learning activities that support specific domains (e.g., sensory play for toddlers, dramatic play for preschoolers). ○​ Instructors provide planning templates, developmental guidelines, and peer review sessions to support instructional design. ○​ Students engage in close reading and analysis of key theorists such as Piaget, Vygotsky, Erikson, and Parten. ○​ Teachers facilitate understanding through annotated readings, Socratic seminars, graphic organizers, and jigsaw activities that encourage collaboration and synthesis. ○​ Students examine a variety of materials through hands-on exploration or visual analysis, categorizing them by type, intended use, and developmental value. ○​ Teachers guide discussions using pro/con charts, material comparison rubrics, and reflective journaling on how each supports various aspects of child development.
