Process-oriented Child Monitoring Guidebook

The practical guide for teachers ‘Supporting Children’s Wellbeing and Involvement in Vietnamese preschools’ has been developed by VVOB in collaboration with the Early Childhood Education Department (Ministry of Education and Training) and adjusted to the local context in collaboration with Vietnamese education experts.

Process-oriented child monitoring helps teachers understand each child’s learning by analysing the impact of preschool activities and experiences on children’s well-being and involvement. Based on these observations, teachers can adjust their educational plan. By applying “action points” that address barriers to learning and participation and that initiate changes in the organisation and implementation of preschool activities, they ensure that all 
children can learn through play and realise their potential.

The guide instructs teachers how to observe, take note and monitor pre-school children daily and periodically to ensure the quality implementation of the preschool education curriculum. The guide also helps teachers to develop skills to organise child-centred preschool activities that electively contribute to children’s learning and holistic development.
