Guest Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hi I am new to the FSF but already i have picked up some valuable info to help me with my teaching. I am in my third year of teaching and i now feel that i am able to make a few changes of my own with regards to planning and assessments after 2 years of advisors and OFSTED breathing down our necks! I am focussing on my methods of assessments at the moment. I introduced a new and i hope, easier way of making assessments on each child but i would like some ideas of how other people assess in the foundation stage (reception). Do you observe particular children every week? Do you have key objectives that you focus on assessing the children against each week? how much of your assessments are during focused observations/ child initiated activities? Do you have a timetable or a plan to show when you assess etc? I would really appreciate some help with this...and any documents that i could have a look at would be fantastic. Thanks Hanna22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
