What are the Characteristics of Effective Learning?

Learning and development 7 areas of learning 17 ELGs

Each area of learning and development must be implemented through planned, purposeful play and through a mix of adult-led and child-initiated activity. Play is essential for children’s development, building their confidence as they learn to explore, to think about problems, and relate to others. Children learn by leading their own play, and by taking part in play which is guided by adults. Statutory Framework for the EYFS 2012 DfE

EYFS Assessment – helps to… “ recognise children’s progress, understand their needs, and to plan activities and support.” Statutory Framework for EYFS 2012 “Observational assessment … is the most reliable way of building an accurate picture of children’s development and learning, especially where the attainment demonstrated is not dependent on overt adult support. (It is) key to understanding what children really know and can do.” EYFS Handbook 2013

Primary learning improvement So how are assessments made? Observations are levelled using Development Matters over time and used to plan next steps in children’s learning (formative assessment) Judgements are collated, reviewed, and summarised half termly using ‘best fit’ (summative assessment) End of year judgements are made in relation to the 17 Early Learning Goals (ELGs)

Primary learning improvement EYFS Profile – this is still statutory in 2016 Robust on entry judgements will need to be made across all 17 aspects so that these can be reported at the end of the year and progress measured in each aspect over time

Three measures in EYFS GLD – Good level of development A child can reach a GLD if they score 2 or more in every one of the first 12 areas of learning ie they achieve at least the ELG for these 12 strands. ATPS – Average Total Point Score This is the total score each child achieves (ie the total score for each of the ELGs) divided by the number in the cohort Children scoring 2 for all aspects, i.e. expected across all aspects.
