AnonyMouse_13981 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I am trying to make a SEF form to use to evaluate whether the children are using the different areas within the pre school. So are they using the book corner to read/look at books, if not why not, what needs changing etc. Have looked in resources, but I couldn't find what I was looking for If any of you lovely ladies can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Maybe you could do an ITERS or ECERS on the room depending on the age group being observed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 how about using some ideas based on the Mosaic Approach (google if you need more info) whereby you give the children a camera and free use of it to take photos of their favourite places within the setting? Once you've looked at the results, you can then ask the children to discuss their preferences with you. We did this last year to evaluate our environment and it had some surprising results!

Guest Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 look at well being and involvement of the children to be honest just stand and have a good look at the session in progress then think, reflect, think change reflect evaluate do it for a while dont chang things in just one week of having an idea because sometimes other ideas for and against crop up and you just cant keep changing ECCR's is a useful tool discuss with children and staff and parents as sometimes they have useful contacts for resources that may be needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 sorry may just be thick but what is ECCR or ITERS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 You could give the children post it notes with happy and sad faces on. You could then ask them to stick them in places or areas that they like and dislike in the room x Then obviously evalute and look at the results after x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
