This observation grid is created by ECE(C) professionals to guide them when visiting other ECE(C) Practices. However the observation grid has no scientific support and was created after a mutual brainstorm, it can be of great value. It creates a similar language to talk and reflect during and after a study visit. It can also help comparing and showing differences and similarities in practices.
The observation grid is a tool that should help practitioners in the ECE(C) field to look and observe other contexts (and their own). It's a tool that should lead to notes or more guided looking while visiting, and should lead to reflection and debate afterwards. It creates a basis to discuss and create a common vocabulary.
