Mrs_Duff Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hi There, I am brand new to reception and in an international setting. I am looking regularly at the tapestry baseline page on the site and want to ask how much evidence is needed for me to select an option - especially if I think they are exceeding age band expectations. I have no support as management are less trained than I am in EYFS and we are phasing the children in so currently they are only in till 11.30 each day- I feel as though this is not enough time to get a good idea of evidence based observations on what they can and can't do. Any thoughts..? Do I just compare the early learning goals and outcomes of age and make a judgement? Any help at all is great! Floundering ?

FSFRebecca Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I would be using your professional judgement. You don't have to make the baseline assessment straight away - I would be spending the time getting to know the children over the first few weeks - once you have got an idea of where they are 'at' you can set the baseline - you can set the date to the beginning of term even if you make the baseline later. I would take my time and get to know them first before I committed my judgement to the baseline! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
