WChurchill Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 I was wondering how and when year one target set. Do you use profile scores or not. After discussions with others this has proved problematic and leads to targets that are not sound! I would appreciate any comments.
SueFinanceManager Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Hi Mumm Moved this from the local forum area to the national area where more people will see it and hopefully someone will come along soon with some advice Sue Admin Team
Susan Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 My targets will be to complete the Profile asap, so i will be looking at the outstanding statements in CLLD and PRSN and PSE and matching these into the framework objectives for Literacy and numeracy to make them SMART, hopefully. PSE skills I will look at with the children and talk to them about what they need/ would like to be better at. Hope that helps.

And good advice ta.
hali Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 SMART - specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely.
finleysmaid Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 ha ha - always thought it was small,managable,achievable, relevant and time related! funny how acronyms change over time...its like chinese whispers. anyway the point is the same set targets that are achievable in a small amount of time. I once had a teacher who set a target of 'improve spelling' to my daughter who is dyslexic!!! - this is not a smart target although i'm pre-school our targets are next staps for the children so are based on where they are at the moment and where we want them to be next. We set these every two weeks(because we have 50 children who come to us and these do anything from2.5 to 12.5 hours per week) What we do is take an ob on the child as our starting point identify their need/can do/interest or response from this and set what we will do with them next (so ob/assess/plan)these are then reviewed and reset or changed to cover another area or extend again. Hope that makes sense - may not be possible for your set up but may give you an idea that would work for you
