Documentation Panels Enhance Teacher Education Programs
Warash, Bobbie Gibson
Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education, v26 n4 p437-442 Oct 2005
Documentation of children's projects is advantageous to their learning process and is also a good method for student teachers to observe the process of learning. Documentation panels are a unique way to help student teachers understand how children learn. Completing a panel requires a student teacher to think through a process. Teachers must learn how to ask appropriate questions that reveal the progress of the project and then reflect the information onto a panel that preserves the growth of the child's thinking. Panels are an effective way to help student teachers convey their knowledge about young children and appropriate methods of teaching.
