AnonyMouse_2821 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 We have been having lots of discussions about judgements and where children are in accordance with the development matters statements and logging on to an assessment sheet to ensure progress etc. However when making a judgments to say if a child is 30-50 or 40-60 how precise do you get? I.e. if the child has achieved all of the 30-50 statements and is working at 40-60 would you say they are 30-50 as they have achieved or 40-60 as that's where they are developing? Then what if they have most of 30-50 and some 40-60 where do you say they are then? I'm getting myself in a right pickle as I think I am thinking too much!!!

Steve Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hi skippy - You might like to have a look at this discussion here, which raises some very good points about the process of identifying where a child is achieving. :1b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3307 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 The statements in the bands are just some of the many things a child might do. In both of your scenarios I would say emerging 40 - 60. It's making a developmental best fit judgement so it's not precise in that way. Cx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
