Covering Individual Child Planning

[sharonash]

We currently split our children into focus week sover the term- during this week we will do a learning story on them(long observation) put enhancements into areas for things that interest them and include them in a focus activity

 

Does this sound enough? or too much ? or?

 

can you explain how you cover a child individual planning each week - (or however often)

 

thanks

We do exactly the same as you

this is what we plan to do too so that everyone gets a fair turn at having their interests/needs met. other staff to give post-its too so we build up a really good picture of them. also we will let parents know when it is their 'week', and will ask them to try hard to tell us how they are getting interested in at home and try and speak to them to say something we have planned in for them as a result of our observations, e.g. their interest in dinosaurs is leading to us writing lists of dinosaurs to support writing etc x

We still plan for whole groups. At medium term we add any observed schema or learning interests and then at short term we differentiate for individuals. We don't do any individual learning plans. Our record keeping shows individual learning.
