Measuring success in early childhood settings involves getting to know each child as an individual and determining their learning and development.
The key elements of the assessment that we follow at The Creek:
- We identify the purpose of assessment - understanding whether it for overall development is, specific skills or is it for both.
- Selecting the tools of assessment which align with the goals set in, to meet the suitable age group of children.
- Understand that at early years it's imperative to take information from various sources - which will give us a comprehensive view of the child’s learning phase.
- Using a variety of assessment tools - which will be flexible & comfortable for the child.
- Performance Progress Profile - Documenting the progress of the child - to identify the strengths and make informed decisions to support the child.
- Reflect and Review - regularly review the practice & make assessments ongoing & continuous.
