Running Record.

Diego was playing in the classroom with his peers and his
educators. He was in a position of facing his educator with
two of his peers. He started to cry and scream out loud
because child A took his toy and was pointing at his peer.
At first his educator was trying and encouraging him to use
his words and say "mine. mine" but Diego kept pointing
toward child A. The educator was holding Diego with one
hand and was communicating with child A and saying "Give
the car back to Diego" using the count down strategy. While
the educator was speaking with child A to give Diego's toy
back, Diego stepped toward child A, reached the toy, and
pulled and took it from his peer. Then Diego was securing
from his educator when child A started to cry. After that the
educator was trying to teach Diego to use his words and
say "No, it is mine". Then Diego started to play with his toy
beside the window. After that he stood beside his educator
that reading a story book for his peers beside the arm of
the sofa and joined them.

How will you apply some of these strategies when conducting Running Records in class, as an
EA? 

-We will write objectively and implement strategies for expressing our subjectivity

(Mactaggart, 2023).

-We will be aware of our biases while writing the running records.

-We will make sure that we are fully listening to what is happening as we are reporting

everything in the running record.

-Focus on one child and make sure that all other children’s names are not included.
