Guest Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hi, am hoping someone might be able to help me. I was on a EYSFS course today where it was mentioned that there has been a national pilot scheme where pen pictures are used to make judgements on which stage a child is on at a particular time in each area of learning. The sugestion seems to be to do one on entry and then 5 others throughout the year. My LEA seems keen to use this so would love to hear from anyone involved in the pilot or doing something similar. All comments positive and negative would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beth1 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Sounds like a report to me, Susan! Maz Maz is on the right lines , a pen picture is a series of observations on a particular child to write up a report which is normally for outside agencies. I did a child case study and has part of the assessment I had to do this pen picture of 4 observations on PILES, then I had to put in theory before writing up the reccomendations for the future.

catma Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 The strategies pilot record has been shelved I'm afraid. Political pressure from providers has caused it to be stopped. Shame cos now we''ll just have to do it ourselves! Cx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
