This was corrected during the visit. During today’s visit you were given the following DCDEE resources: Orientation Form Staff File Checklist. Observation Suggestions: Fostering Children’s thinking Skills: Children’s thinking skills can be promoted throughout the school day in many classroom activities including centers, whole group instruction, meal and snack time, as well as transition. This is important when teachers are intentionally thinking about finding opportunities to do this at different times during the day, and not just during a structured instructional activity. Create opportunities for children to solve problems, experiment, and figure out how things work. • When children are building towers with blocks, the teacher asks, “What do you think will happen if we add more blocks? Why do you think that?” The teacher then asks children to add more blocks and talk about what happens. This allows children to experiment and learn more from the activity. Make learning meaningful and connected to children’s lives. • When going outside for a spring nature walk, a child notices flowers blooming. The teacher says, “Tell me about what you see coming out of the ground. Why are the flowers coming out now? Why didn’t we see them last month? Have you seen flowers like this at home or somewhere else?” This helps children deepen their understanding of their world. Use how and why questions that help children think about ideas. • When reading a story, the teacher asks questions, such as: “How do you think that made her feel? Why do you think that?” to help children think more deeply about the book. Link understanding with something previously learned. • Children are in a center time and playing store, buying and selling various items. The teacher reminds the children about their visit to a store the day before and connects what they saw and did with the current activity. Predict what may happen next. • When reading a book, the teacher asks questions, such as: “What do you think will happen next?” to help children with their prediction skills. Brainstorm new ideas make something in a new way. • When coloring, the teacher asks children to draw pictures of animals that lay eggs. After the children are done with drawing, the teacher and children sit together and make a list of all the animals they came up with. Reminders: T. C.’s CBC letter expires 12/16/25. The process for submitting the required information to the CBC Unit can begin within 6 months before the qualifying letter expires.
