Kidwatching is critical to a student-centered classroom. When we kidwatch, we observe students, taking notes on what we see students doing and hear them talking about. We analyze our kidwatching data to find patterns over time.  This On-Your-Feet Guide Use the strategies in this on-your-feet guide to make instructional decisions based on students’ interests, strengths, and challenges.
