Guest Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 hi all i was wondering how people use the assesment scales. do you uses them as adult focused activity? also do you use the assesment scales in your children learning journey or do you use the whole of the eyfs? i was also wondering how the assesment scales would cover a mixed age group? thank you for reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundia Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Hi Sammy By assessment scales, do you mean the EY Foundation stage profile? or do you mean the development matters statements? And can you clarify for us, What is your mixed age group you refer to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 hi thanks for replying i mean the 13 assesment scales of the eyfs. the mixed aged are from 2 years 6 months to 4 thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundia Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Hi Sammy. The 13 scales you mention are the Foundation Stage profile, and these are for the reception year. You shouldn't be using them for the age group 2-4 years. You can use the age bands within the development matters to show how your children progress and this would be informed from a varied combination of adult led and self initiated activities not just from adult led alone. I hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
