How will the Infant Observation course be structured?
Participants in the course will visit a parent and infant in their home weekly for an hour over the 10 months of the class, September to June. Observations are written up following the visit in as much detail as can be remembered. Small groups of students meet weekly for 1 ½ – 2 hours (depending on class size), with a faculty member to read and discuss the recordings. The group explores what is shared to understand the fine details of development and relationships and to help make sense of the feelings stirred up by the observation.
