Directions for Finding an Observation Site and Observation Signature Form

For this assignment, you must find a placement where you can observe an early childhood teacher teaching a lesson in their classroom.

Please follow the guidelines below:

1. Your observation should be at least 45 minutes long. You must observe an early childhood classroom where the teacher is teaching (no free play time, learning center time, outdoor time, lunch, recess, or naptime allowed). You must target one age group between ages 4 and3rd grade.

2. You must choose an accredited or licensed placement. This can be a school, preschool, or child care facility (family childcare, small or large group center). If you need assistance with this, please email me and I can provide you with some names of centers to contact.

3. You must fill out and sign the “Guidelines for Prince George’s Community College Teacher Education Students.” This form is a separate document with this assignment and is I have attached it as the Professional Behaviors form.

4. You must fill out and have the teacher or director/principal sign the “Observation Site Form for Prince George’s Community College Teacher Education Students.” This form is below.

Both forms must be turned in with your assignment. Make sure they are completely filled out, the information is accurate, and the appropriate person has signed each form. These forms are required to be submitted with the assignment. They are not worth any credit toward the grade for the observation assignment, but failure to turn the forms in will result in an observation grade of 0.

Please contact me by email or phone if you have questions or problems.
