Instructional Learning Formats - Effective Facilitation - During an art activity, the educator sits down at the table and passively watches children as they paint., Educator Sensitivity - The educator asks children the same question several times, not noticing that they are not understanding. As a result, some children start to become visibly frustrated., Positive Climate - A group of children quietly eat their snack. The children have a relaxed posture and smile when the educator makes a comment about their food., Concept Development - Creativity - The educator asks planning questions before a small group project (“What will you start on?” “How will you keep track of what you have tried so far?” “What job will each person have?” “What materials will you need?”)., Quality of Feedback - While children are learning about and asking questions about igloos, the educator dismisses the questions by either not responding or by asking follow-up questions that are not relevant, such as “Do you like to go to the beach?”, Negative Climate  - The educator rolls her eyes when a child shares an idea, chuckling and making a face when the child gets something wrong. The educator then says, “You got it wrong again. How do you not know this by now?” This kind of interaction happens several times during the observation., Productivity - Children demonstrate that they know what to do by saying things such as “Then we go to recess!” or “I’m getting the bathroom pass.”, Regard for Child Perspectives  - The children lead all tasks during the morning meeting: they decide on the daily question, write it on the board, and lead the songs and stretching exercises., Language Modeling - When a child points toward the crayon jar, the educator reaches over and gives it to him without saying anything., Behavior Management - While cleaning up centers, children start yelling and then throw blocks at each other and call each other names. The educator, who is getting ready for lunch, reacts and says “stop that” several times., Concept Development - Analysis & Reasoning - Morning meeting is spent going over “What day was it yesterday? What day is it today? What day will it be tomorrow?” until children answer correctly. There is no in-depth discussion to deepen thinking skills., Instructional Learning Formats - Variation in approach - For the class’s study of the butterfly life cycle, the science area has a cup with caterpillars ready for viewing. Magnifying glasses, paper for observational drawings, writing/drawing tools, and butterfly books are all available for children to engage with during center time.The educator asks to see a menu when children are playing “restaurant,” or ask questions of a small group of children who are drawing a pamphlet.During a science lesson on the sense of taste, the educator does not prepare any foods or items that are safe to taste for children to try. The educator prints out a black-and-white anatomy diagram of the tongue that has over 10 parts labeled; this is the only material used in a lecture-style lesson.,
