Why doesn’t the assessor interact with the adults and children during an observation?
The assessor is there to objectively observe a typical day. In order to get the most accurate picture of what the children experience on a day to day basis, it is important that the assessor interact with the teachers/providers and the children as little as possible. If the assessor becomes involved in talking with you and the children, it detracts from the observation and changes the environment of the classroom.
