| Summary |
"The key to observing children is using observation as more than just a teaching technique. Observing children closely provides a new way of thinking about learning and teaching, a way of making children visible as they are, not just as we want them to be. Observant teachers will find more than techniques for watching or taking notes about chidlren - they will discover a different way of being with children." - back cover |
