Date & Time: March 8, 2017 5:15 pm
Student Name: Diego

Diego cries out and points at a blue toy car that Child A has in his possession. Diego
continues to point at the toy car and walk toward Child A. He grabs the toy car from
Child As hand and pulls it away from Child A. He sits down and rolls the toy car on the
seat. He gets up, still holding the toy car in his hand and looks over at the book that is
being read by the teacher.

Student #3 - Name: M.H.

Copy and paste your running record here:
Date: March 8, 2017
Date & Time: March 8, 2017 5:15 pm
Student Name: Diego
Setting: Les Petites Cellules

Diego is standing at the side of a couch, expressing his frustration through body language
to Adult L about Child F not giving back his toy car. Adult L is stressing to Diego that he
Portfolio Task #3: Running Records

needs to use his words when asking Student F for his car back, instead of just grabbing it.
After a few seconds of Adult L stating that Diego needs to use his words, Diego said
mine. Child F still denied giving back Diegos car. Diego continued to grab and reach
for the toy car. After pulling hard enough, he retrieved it without using any words.
Another adult walked in, intervened and removed Child F from the situation. Adult L
stresses to Diego he needs to use his words afterwards and say no Child F it is mine,
even though he did not use his words in the first place. After Diego receives his car, he
begins to feel relaxed, while playing with his car by himself off to the side on a bench,
near the window. Diego is interested in the book Adult L is reading, therefore he stopped
rolling the car on the ground and stands up to listen to the story. The other kids in the
room, start to wonder where Student F went, as Deigo continues to stay engaged in the
book and not notice Student F coming back into the room, as the other kids did.

Part 2:
Difficulties We Encountered while Recording
our Running Records:
There are many people involved and
interconnected (difficult to focus on only
the actions of the one student in this case)
Difficulty determining what information
is pertinent for the running record.
Not receiving enough time to complete a
well thought out and effective running
record
Hardship completing the running record at
the same time as effectively observing
Understanding the purpose of the video
(video is very short so were only seeing a
snapshot of what is occurring and not a
full reflection)
Strategies We Used while Recording
our Running Records:
Watched the video multiple
times to capture all of the
details
Removed oneself from the
room for quiet and/or used
headphones to keep out
distracting noises
Used short form sentences and
expanded at a later time
Ensured detailed description to
add context and meaning

How will you apply some of these strategies when conducting Running Records in
class, as an EA?
Remove yourself from the situation as much as possible to ensure you are a non-
participant observer. Ensure there is adequate support in the room so you can
maintain the non-participant role throughout.
Park any biases before observation occurs and write as objectively as possible.
Utilize short form words/sentences to record all relevant information for the
Portfolio Task #3: Running Records

running record and elaborate at a later time.

Have a backup recording method. If using technology, have chargers. Keep pen
and paper handy in case technology fails, so you can continue observing and
recording.
Develop observation and note taking skills that work best for you.
