The Power of Documentation: Children's Learning Revealed

The Power of Documentation: Children's Learning Revealed is a dynamic, thought-provoking window into the lives of children and teachers in early education environments. Through photos, childrenís work, anecdotal notes, and stories, the viewer experiences young children learning and making sense of their world. Reflections by teachers and administrators (in writing and on video) reveal the role of documentation and collegial support in creating learning communities forchildren, parents and teachers.

The exhibit provides viewers with the opportunities to:
Focus on learner outcomes by seeing how active, engaged learning experiences enable children to meet standards.
Value diversity by seeing how documentation and other best practices can be used effectively with all young children in real-life settings.
Reflect on and discuss what they see with other learners and educators. Begin documenting in their own centers and schools.
