Observation, Assessment and Planning

Helen Moylett

School staff working with EYFS children – teachers and teaching assistants


On-going formative assessment is at the heart of effective early years practice. Practitioners observe children as they act and interact in their play, everyday activities and planned activities, they then decide what these observations tell them about children’s learning and progress (assessment) and use these assessments to plan next steps in learningParticipants on this course will have time to…• explore the nature and purposes of the EYFS

observation, assessment and planning cycle;

• think about possible approaches to long, medium and short term planning and planning in the moment;

• explore the role of responsible pedagogy in observation, assessment and planning and children's entitlements to a play based curriculum, indoor and outdoor etc.;

• think about effective ways of monitoring children’s progress and the role of formative and summative assessment;

• reflect on implications for practice and provision;

• plan next steps.
