Children's Contributions


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am looking at the recent EYFS moderation document on the Gov. website and updating/adapting the form I currently use. One point that I have always found that staff seem to struggle with is to show is the 'How are the children’s contributions represented?'

I'm interested to find out how others evidence the children's contributions, particularity when using Tapestry?

Any suggestions/example/ideas are gratefully received. Thank you

I would also say that they children's contributions are represented in the activities taking place in the setting. Maybe if it's something that you are worried about for moderation or insepction you could use the Tapestry 'tagging' facility to 'mark' activities that have come from children's ideas and interests. You could make a #child'scontribution tag.Then, when Ofsted come or when you are moderated you could search for that particular tag and talk about how it works (In terms of inspections, don't forget that evidence doesn't have to be something that you 'give' to an inspector, it can be something you tell an inspector about. For an inspector, evidence is sorted into DOCS (documents e.g. safeguarding policy), OBS (e.g. watching a member of staff counting children into and out of the garden to ensure that no one is left behind) and DISC (discussion e.g. staff explaining how they would report any concerns they might have))

Hope that helps, here is the tutorial explaining how to use tagging in case you are not sure.

:D
