Talking Mats and Reviews An outreach worker at the Centre was working with a young boy who was experiencing significant difficulties at school including aggression and non-compliance.
He was being excluded and had also spent considerable periods of time being looked after away from home by other family members. During meetings which the boy was not part of it became clear that his own views and voice was not being heard. With this in mind the outreach worker completed a Talking Mat with him. The worker then spent time with the boy talking with him about the different aspects of his life and using pictures, asked him to place them on the mat depending on how he felt about them (a tick for 'like', a question mark for 'not sure' and a cross for 'dislike').
This boy has since blossomed in his confidence and has really started to trust the worker. Talking Mats and the Children's Hearing system.

Making learning visible in kindergarten classrooms: Pedagogical documentation as a formative assessment technique. Abstract This study investigated interactions between pedagogical documentation—a formative assessment technique and instructional intervention designed to increase student learning by recording children’s experiences—and kindergarten children, families and teachers in the UAE.
The study sample comprised six teachers in six kindergarten classrooms, 141 kindergarten children and 67 parents. The major data-gathering techniques were participant observation, semi-structured individual interviews, focus group interviews and parent questionnaire. The results revealed that pedagogical documentation has the potential to improve children’s learning, contribute to teachers’ awareness of learning processes and help parents gain a better understanding of learning processes in their children’s education.

The Early Years Learning Framework describes the curriculum as “all the interactions, experiences, activities, routines and events, planned and unplanned, that occur in an environment designed to foster children’s learning and development”.
The Childcare Curriculum Plan is a planned sequence of activities and experiences, which are intended to achieve an outcome. This means, all the activities / experiences that the children engage in on a daily basis, have an aim / objective and are planned to be available for the group of children on that specific day. What is a Curriculum Plan The curriculum plan is a document that lists all the experiences, events and activities that are available for the children throughout the course of the day.
As part of implementing a curriculum plan, documentation (daily diary, learning stories and observations) becomes a resource tool that is used to reflect on and extend upon the children’s learning and development.

Assessment overload exhausts early-years staff - News - TES.
Comment:3.7 average rating | Comments (33)Last Updated:14 May, 2010Section:News Discontent is growing over pupil observations “They won’t tell you what to do,” said Penny, a reception teacher in west London who asked to remain anonymous.
“But then they will come in, judge you and tell you whether you’ve got it right. We’re all willing to do what is right, but we need to know what is required.” Penny is grappling with the early years foundation stage, introduced six months ago to ensure that all pre-school children have access to a wide range of activities geared to their interests and guided by knowledgeable adults. Discontent is growing, not with the play-based nature of it, but over the way it is assessed. “At one meeting, I was told three pieces of evidence were needed for every scale point, either an observation on a Post-it or a piece of work. Eyfs_cards_0001207. Qca-01-799.pdf.pdf. Observation, Assessment and Planning. The EYFS Profile summarises and describes children’s attainment at the end of the EYFS.
It is based on on-going observation and assessment in the three prime and four specific areas of learning, and the three learning characteristics, set out below: The prime areas of learning: • communication and language. 2013-eyfs-profile-handbook. EarlyYearsFoundationStage-PracticeGuidance.pdf. Objective-led Planning. Objective-led planning has to be the most effective way of taking teaching into children’s play that I have ever used.
With objective-led planning you would still group the children by ability based on assessment. Rather than having 'red group', 'blue group' etc for Mathematics or Communication and Language etc. It allows you to group your children by their specific need in each area of learning. So, children who need more support in talk development and less in fine motor can get just that, rather than being in one ability group for both. Once you have decided on your teaching focus you group your children in relation to their attainment within that area. For each group of children you would make a statement of their current performance in that area 'where they are now'. Then you plan a 'next step' for each group. It is the next step that you then take into the children's play.
When you go and play alongside children you get high levels of engagement. The teacher. Early Years Foundation Stage Forum.

Assessment is the use of a variety of procedures to collect information about learning and instruction. Formative and summative assessment represent two classifications of assessment, each with a distinct purpose. Formative assessment is commonly referred to as assessment for learning, in which the focus is on monitoring student response to and progress with instruction. Formative assessment provides immediate feedback to both the teacher and student regarding the learning process. Summative assessment is commonly referred to as assessment of learning, in which the focus is on determining what the student has learned at the end of a unit of instruction or at the end of a grade level (e.g., through grade-level, standardized assessments).

Put Scotland squarely on course to shifting the balance of public services towards early intervention and prevention by 2016. Sustain this change to 2018 and beyond. We have reached a point now where we have the commitment and the will to deliver in this area, and we have a strong evidence base about what works to make improvements. Key Changes Since January 2013, teams from across all 32 CPPs have embarked on improvement interventions to address issues identified on the agreed driver diagrams to meet local need. Initial work has commenced to understand the ‘Big ticket’ items that really make a difference to the EYC improvement work – these are being identified as potential ‘Key Changes’.

Floorbooks are blank books with heavy duty pieces of paper where we can record children's voices and their ideas to use in our planning. Group writing in a Floorbook allows shared thinking as children recall each others ideas and record them through writing, diagrams and photographs. This child centred approach records the evidence of the process of play and the learning that comes from it. Here are a few examples from our favourite floorbooks.
