An Observer’s Notebook gives us a myriad of ways to observe children in our Montessori prepared environments by showing us how to connect with what we want to learn from the children through observation; how to obtain and record our impressions; how we can reflect and understand the patterns in our data; and how we can enable our deeper reflection and practice with our observations and information.

This book has become required reading in almost all teacher training courses. It’s powerful, relevant and a must-have book for anyone who works with children. Guidance on how to make observing practical and rewarding is now available.
