We’re delighted to be developing a range invaluable assessment tools for use in the EYFS. Principled, easy to use and informative, they’ll be sure to strengthen your assessment and moderation routines.
Assessment should be manageable, meaningful, holistic and must have impact on each child’s learning and development. These Early Excellence assessment tools have been designed to support practitioners, teachers, phase leads and school leaders to engage in effective assessment processes, providing rich and insightful information to inform practice, provision, teaching and learning.
Each tool is underpinned by a highly principled approach to assessment, centred around child development and practitioner knowledge. They will support staff to engage in purposeful evaluations about each child’s strengths, next steps and the possible ways to facilitate and support their onward journey.
EExREC Beyond Baseline has been developed for use in Reception during the Spring Term, at the end of February, to inform next steps in teaching and learning. It places a key focus of the enabling Teachers to target the right support, identifying which children need what and why.
This tool enables schools to gain an accurate picture of the children’s Ages and Stages, Well-being, Involvement, Characteristics of Effective Learning and vital information about their knowledge and skills within the EYFS Areas of Learning.
The detailed Handbook, accompanied by a recorded webinar and insightful exemplification videos will enable you to implement a highly principled assessment process and create an informative ‘mid-year’ assessment picture for your Reception class and cohort.
We’re excited to introduce EExREC Beyond Baseline – designed to help you continue gathering meaningful information about your children’s learning and development at the mid-point of the Reception year.
