AnonyMouse_53864 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how they use their journals to show children's progress. We currently use a check list which highlighted but this is lengthy and time consuming.
AnonyMouse_1490 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 We use PRAMs. Its brilliant for creating reports to show progress. 3
AnonyMouse_49577 Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 We use Tapestry, its brilliant, it does all the analysis and progress check for us based on our observations and assessments. Very easy and user friendly.
AnonyMouse_3307 Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Observations in themselves will contribute to the summative assessment which you may make periodically - that's where you would be demonstrating progress really, so over a period of time a child may be emerging into a skill set and begin to be securing those skills. However you should also be able to see a progression in skills etc if you are collecting observations which show how the child is demonstrating them. So for writing skills I would keep samples from when a child starts to show new skills developmentally, so goes from scribble to sticks and circles for example. Cx
Guest Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 I must admit, it's something I've discussed with our lead practitioner this last week as I feel our tracking system doesn't show progress that well. I suggested us going to a system to highlighting statements from DM to inform our emerging/developing/secure decisions as some of our children can stay developing in one age band for a good 6-8 months and their progress looks like they haven't moved on, when in actual fact they've just covered more ground in that age band.
