Collecting Evidence


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hi there everyone.

 

As everyone seems to be at the moment, I'm a bit frazzled about how much evidence to collect for tracking progress in Reception. My head is wanting to ensure that we are doing sufficient for looming Ofsted in a years' time. And that the progress we are tracking is accurate and rigourous. I am using eprofile for the first time this year.

 

I'll run through what I'm already doing, and if people think I should be doing more/collecting more evidence then please hand out that wonderful advice of yours!

 

Formal observations - 1 per child each half term

Informal observations - post-it style - constantly!!

Group guided reading record - weekly

Independent writing assessment - termly

Phonics tracker using letters and sounds assessment ideas.

And obviously their books where I stick photos into also.

 

I just don't quite know what else to do!

Please help!!

Is termly sufficient for independent writing assessment? I guess your post-its would pick up anything of interest in between.

 

I note you don't have anything PSE -ish? or is this your post-it area / longitudinal observation?

 

Otherwise it sounds pretty comprehensive to me!

Hi Nomie

We do all you do but as Cait says half termly writing may be better?

I also have a Home School/Reading record book and write notes to parents and they write to me...this may cover the keeping parents informed bit

Please don't forget that evidence includes simply what you know!

Also I would be collecting writing as and when children do different things in their free play as this is what you are looking for. Writing done "for a sample" is not truely independent and you want the range of different purposes as decided by children.
