The Caregiving Observation & Reflection Tool (CORT) provides a framework to observe and document interactions and experiences that occur within a classroom. The tool has recently been updated based on feedback received from Training & Curriculum Specialists and Service Leadership. The CORT is now available in a PDF version, with CORT Observation Sheets available as fillable PDFs. An Action Plan with a space for signatures is also included so that program professionals and the Training & Curriculum Specialist or other observer can reflect on their observations and set goals based on the professional’s strengths and areas for growth. Additionally, a new component has been added to the Balanced Differentiated Instruction domain, and aspects of mentoring were added to the Values Professional Growth component. Lastly, the content within each component has been revised to be more inclusive of all age groups.
To learn more about the updates made to this tool and discover best practices for using the CORT, join us for our next Live Leadership Webinar on May 22 at 11:00 AM EST. You can view the updated tool in Lesson 5 of the Focused Topics course Using the ³Ô¹ÏÍø: Coaching to Enhance Practice.
