Guest Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Hi all, As part of the next step in my OU EYFD, I am working on inclusion. I have chosen to plan for, and observe, a small group of children (we don't do keyworking, so this is difficult). One of the children I have "selected" is aged 2 years 9 months. We have no progress records on him because "he is outside the parameters for funding". For my own benefit in my course, I need to make some sort of assessment record (my setting does not want me to use stepping stones, because "he is too young"). Is anyone using a 0-3 assessment system that I could use? Please. Diane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hali Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hi i use a very simplified progression sheet with my 2 1/2 year olds, it has just the basics of the 6 ELGs on it and consists of one A4 page with these things on. If you want a copy i will attemp to send you one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I saw yesterday that someone has developed some assessment documentation to run with birth to three and links into the foundation stage. However I am in university and it is at home (useful!!!) If this is the sort of thing you are after I will post it this evening for you.

Guest Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Hi diane, I have just devised my own progress sheets for our children aged 0-3, they are based around the birth to three matters and also link in with the foundation stage, they also inform our planning so that we ensure we are meeting each individual child's needs, if you are interested then please let me know and I will try and send them to you Jo F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddleducks Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 The information that you are looking for linking the foundation stage to the BTTM is on the disc that came with the pack, it explains if you read through it, which areas of the learning aspects reflect which early learning goals, your under 3's in some cases are working on the yellow and green stepping stones.

Guest Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Hi Jo I have just read your post regarding progress sheets for BTTM i would be very grateful if you could send me a copy to look at. i am finding it hard to get my head around the BTTM planning anyone else in the same boat would welcome any advice please.

Lucy P Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Hi Stellafildes I don't know if this helps but i have posted a topic on BTTM planning which you can find here I hope that works!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 HI Lucyp Thanks for that i went out and bought the baby books,they are very good. I am having trouble coming up with a format how to plan linking bttm with foundation stage planning. It took us ages to come up with a planning format that worked in our setting, (we are in a pre-school,) i really want to have a peep at what others have come up with just to get ourselves on track. If anyone can help i will be very grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy P Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 We too found it difficult to link the two frameworks. Eventually we thought: A Strong Child = PSED A Skilful Communicator = CLL A Competent Learner = KUW, C A Healthy Child = Ph And we linked our planning to that. I must say it would have been easier if the same person had designed both frameworks, as sometimes you find similarities but at other times they seem poles apart! We are are nursery setting with different areas, so we find it much easier to keep planning, assesments etc completley seperate. Not much help i know but i think we are just muddling through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 A while ago the PLA did a series of features in their contact magazine which linked the B23's, FSC and the National Care standards. They were very concise and clear. Maybe if you ring PLA 02078330991 they may be able to send you the back issues. I have the contact magazines at work ( computer at home) I will get them tomorrow and post an example in a few days. ( It would take to long to write the whole lot out.

SmileyPR Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hi Peggy, May you kindly update us about this matter? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hali Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 i had a visit from Early years a few weks ago... to discuss how we impliment birth to three in our setting. We as i said earlier in these posts did a simple elg tick sheet for these children concentrating on P&sE development. The lady told us to steer away from these as the children should be being nurtured to the activities they want to do and just making sure they have access to all they need. She said just to follow the steps in the pack and to make sure they could access all points on those cards in the pack... that was it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Thanks for that Hali. Diane P.S. I have copies of the PLA tabulations that Peggy mentioned back in November. If anyone is interested, I'll have a go at scanning them onto the computer. Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Observing and assessing progress in under 3s. I have just received a sample copy of Trackers 0 - 3 and Trackers 3 - 5. These are little books, the idea is that each child gets one. The 0 - 3 book is broken down into each of the four aspects (eg A Strong Child) which are then sub divided into the four components (eg Me, myself and I, Being Acknowleged and Affirmed etc). The downside for me is that it reads like a tick list of skill mastery, with only a tiny space for comments at the bottom of each page. However I do like the way it unpicks what is involved in each component and it does link to the stepping stones of FSD. I would be interested to know what others think of these books, if others use them and if they are used in private nurseries, playgroups, LEA nurseries or even schools! The books are £2 each (less if you buy in bulk) and are available from QEd publications. Dr Hannah Mortimer has written the books, who is widely regarded as a leader writer/psychologist in early years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Hali We had the Birth to Three visit, too! Although she did have the decency to cringe when we pointed out that being able to get on the training would be a bonus! Did you manage to get booked on any of the Birth to Three trainng Hali? And if so, was it useful? Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I have a copy of the Trackers for 3-5 year olds. It is not strictly relevant for me as I work to a different curriculum. They are also extremely detailed. I did use them to help me devise my own record. I have printed these up on A4 paper and use one side to write comments and can date the boxes when I think a child has achieved something. They are worth a look at though and the 0-3 one would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
