Supporting the Observation, Documentation, and Assessment Cycle
Learn with our talented colleagues from the Boulder Journey School in this new 4-part learning community.

We will think about documentation as a means of getting to know our children in greater depth. Presenters will share tools to aid in the process of observation, documentation, and assessment.
