A PowerPoint designed to be reduced to 4 or 6 to a page and stuck into Learning Journey books for summative assessment. Characteristics of Effective Learning and Areas of Learning statements for Foundation Stage (EYFS 2012) children. I was inspired by a local EYFS teacher and their school's learning journeys to produce these. They will also be laminated and placed onto a ring to be carried by the staff during observations. I hope you find them useful xx

Mainly designed for Nursery children, although can also be used initially to track progress of Reception children also. Quick easy to see children on track, working above and below (1 or 2+ development bands) for staff CPD as well as focus children.

This is a short introductory presentation to the mouse. It is designed for EYFS/KS1 children, although may be appropriate for older newcomers. Introduces how to click, drag and drop.

A report to sum up the achieving profile scale points for each child. Useful to highlight teaching/learning areas of strength and weakness in the child. Also, section to mention any areas the child is not likely to achieve profile points due to SEN/EAL etc. Section for G&T/scale point 9s. I complete once a term to show child achievement, and then sum up in the class version. Useful to show EYFS Co if they want further details, without looking through the whole learning journey.

Moderation prompt form for pupil progress meetings. Simple table ensuring that learning journeys are consistent, and analysis of percentage of progress made that term. Good progress of 78 points / average scale point of 6 per area of learning. Analysis of class make-up: SEN, G&T, EAL, LAC, FSM etc. Reasons for v high/low profile scores and any future CPD needs. Useful as a summary for the EYFS Co-ordinator when talking to SLT/HT/OFSTED/LA Profile Manager.

Not sure which website I found this on, but a good assembly for Mother's Day, looking at all the jobs a mum does.

Designed as a staff training session to become more familiar with the characteristics of effective learning. Different characteristics to be printed out on to card and laminated.
