Helen Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Hi Safia, I've attached some documents that we use occasionally when we're looking at a particular area of learning, or a specific child we need to get detailed obs for. They might help. Assessment_in_personal.doc Assessment_in_Physical_Development.doc Assessment_in_Mathematics.doc Assessment_in_Language_and_Literacy.doc Assessment_in_Knowledge.doc

AnonyMouse_6361 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Only just seen this tread, just what I need for my Child Development assessment too. Thank you Beth
Guest Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 WOW thanks for those! they are bound to be really helpful as i enter my first prac!
Helen Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Thanks Aimee. Welcome to the forum and thanks for making your first post. Can you tell us a bit about the early years system where you are?
AnonyMouse_15046 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Hi Aimee and welcome from me too. It would be very interesting to hear about the differences and similarities between the two early years sectors. My nephew is in school in Sydney and when his parents were over here they had the opportunity to see my daughter's reception classroom. They were amazed to see how play orientated the room was. Although he started school later, their son was expected to spend a lot of time sitting at tables writing from that age of four in the Kindergarten. Is this a common theme in Australia or is this particular setting unusual?
AnonyMouse_7120 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 nursery name and children's names on them prob not a good idea for posting......unless they're fictional of course
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Hi and a very warm welcome from me too!
AnonyMouse_64 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 nursery name and children's names on them prob not a good idea for posting......unless they're fictional of course Deb, if you're referring to the ones cathy_m has posted I think they must be fictional. If you read through the bits at the beginning it says The following section includes some proformas, which you could use or adapt for different types of observations. All can be used in any setting, including a childminder’s home. There are two versions of each, showing minor adjustments, then two completed versions showing the sort of information you might observe and record.
AnonyMouse_8623 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 WOW thanks for those! they are bound to be really helpful as i enter my first prac! G'day Aimee and a very warm welcome to the forum from me too! Love to hear more about you and your setting.
