Easily Capture Observations
The DRDP child assessment in ChildPlus is specifically designed for teachers. We simplified the process of recording observations, providing teachers with numerous benefits, including:
- Easily capture anecdotal notes, photos or videos from any mobile device, including an iPad or tablet.
- While in the classroom, teachers can quickly record anecdotal notes, then go back and edit the observation once class has ended. Add more context to notes, add photos, and tie observations to DRDP measures right from their mobile device!
- ChildPlus supports the talk-to-text feature so you can easily add observation notes by using your mobile device’s microphone.
- Streamline note taking by creating shortcuts to phrases you type often with our Quick Notes feature.
- Agencies can change the language of the DRDP child assessment module so teachers can record observations in Spanish.
Convenient Single Measure Rating Window
The DRDP in ChildPlus features a single window where teachers can view:
- Child observations
- Descriptions of the DRDP measures
- Descriptions & examples of the developmental levels
With the DRDP in ChildPlus, rating with fidelity is easy. Teachers can scroll through each observation from the Single Measure Rating Window to conveniently rate their children. Teachers also have direct access to the DRDP instructions from ChildPlus Mobile and no longer have to rummage through paper copies to find the instructions. After viewing all information from a single screen, teachers can appropriately review, reflect and rate the child without ever having to leave their ChildPlus database.
