Completing Journals, Obs & Experiences During Placement

You should be completing your "journals, observations, experiences" etc during work placment itself. That's one of the main reasons why you need to go to work placement is to complete necessary assignments and get hands on experince. Talk to the director about it. What type of checklist are you after?

Thanks catchmeifucan, I take a few notes here and there but the centre is so busy and the children just want to play so it's hard to say I can't because i'm writing.

I need a checklist for one of my observations of my focus child and focus group but it says on my assignment that I need to use a published developmental checklist accessed from a child development text book or from a reputable internet site. It needs to be age specific as well as specific to the area of development...

my focus child / group is 2-4 years and I need it from various developmental domains...

any help would be much appreciated.

thank you!!

Look up the Red Flag Early Intervention Referral Guide for children 0-2 ... it will give you some idea about what milestones etc children should reach at what ages

Also just google developmental checklists 2-4 yr olds and it should give you plenty

You can find a number of articles on child development stages here under articles section. Even some tafe refers to this site info. See this link:
