sunnyday Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 I use this one to plot observations and call it our "Provision Gap Analysis" using it mainly to see if what we provide covers everything Curriculum coverage check blank for forum.doc Sometimes a "gap" ie nothing recorded may mean the child isn't really interested say in art and being creative or it might mean we haven't provided the right environment, resources etc. It can often mean that my staff have not recognised something as was the case with numbers for calculating it was a case of staff not realising it was happening or being unaware that they were supporting children with this, not that the children weren't doing it, this lead to some staff training. Oooh - I like - thanks for sharing! :1b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsbat Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 sorry to be REALLY dim but do you just highlight the boxes? I've been making work for myself because I thought ofsted didn't like tick charts/highlights Has anyone had ofsted comment on their sheets to say they are happy with it done that way? I would much prefer highlighting and once done I would imagine it looks far clearer than dates everywhere lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only use these as an 'in house' doc. and yes i got full approval from the 'Big O'........did you see the other table that Cait has helped me to make - it's a few posts back - soooooo I feed all this info onto that so that i then have all of this 'centrally' in my 'Progress matters' file - 'tis my understanding (but could be wrong!) that Ofsted want to see that leaders/managers have a clear view on what is happening with all children across the setting..... Hope that helps...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louby loo Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) We use a sheet very similar to sunnydays. One A4 sheet per child for a year - staff fill this in with 'best fit' age bands. We then transfer this info onto PRAMs. Staff were going to each directly input onto prams, but the sheets are so quick to do + plus we can all sit and do them together :1b Edited August 10, 2012 by louby loo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some staff are happy/confident to do it- however at least by doing it myself I am easily able to 'keep an eye' on things (for want of a better word- it is friday wine night!) and pick up on any problems/issues. Staff just put a 1,2 or 3 in the best fit age band and I input the info. PRAMs allows you add 'emerging. getting good or confident' (obviously they use correct terminology!!!) xxx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 we have a chart very similar and we complete at the end of term 2, 4 and 6. It shows progress and it helps us to complete transition forms. It also shows gaps in areas prhaps not covered and shows me maybe gaps in development of staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 No - have you? Used it as part of my case study, had trouble getting it to work, think it is probabyl very similar and i just wondered if PRAMs was better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hi Sue Well so far so good - I was worried about the 'technolgy' but have found it all surprisingly straight forward - so yes, I'm definitely going to use PRAMS this year and see how it goes....... :1b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Ooh I opened that one on iPad! It looks quite comprehensive. I note you ask for highlighting in different colours, what happens if a child hasn't changed out of one age band? I'm thinking of writing 'w12' (winter 2012) 's13' and 'e13' for end of 2013year or something, then the chart could stay with the child in the following year, as we often have children for over 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Harrumph!! Well, as you know, I have devised my own version (uploaded on here somewhere) which was 'run by' the staff before the summer break, so we'll be using that. It's always great to see how other folk are doing it though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoolahoney Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'm confused, do you still highlight or date the DM statements in addition to these overall charts? We mark off the statements as we see them but I worry this is a bit checklist like and can't help think filling in one of these sheets may be better but how do you then evidence you have seen the statements. Sorry bit of a ramble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
