An Observer's Notebook

by Paul Epstein

Reviewed by Maren Schmidt:
“… 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 will be required reading in almost all teacher training courses. It’s powerful, funny, relavant and a must have book for anyone who works with children”.

I’m getting Montessori certified and was assigned to read this book. It is a bit dry and text-booky but it has a lot of great information. I learned a lot and it gave me much to think about. It will definitely be a book I will return to in the future.

Very interesting book about the different ways we can observe and learn from children in our Montessori classrooms.
