Seeing Assessment As A Stepping Stone Thinking In The Context Of The Eylf

Authors Alma Fleet and Catherine Patterson revisit the EYLF and its Educators' guide; they have explored some examples. and provided provocations for further thinking. They are reframing assessment as documenting and demonstrating children's learning (outcomes), a stepping stone to reflective planning, authentic communication with families and professional recording. This book will help you to understand:the five EYLF Outcomes educator examples using the EYLF Belonging, Being and Becoming,he concept of assessment,the Educators' guide to the EYLFmonitoring, assessing and evaluating. The authors found that Early Years Learning Framework is a professional opportunity, not a constraint. It provides a context for thoughtful work with young children. Caring, laughing, nurturing and learning need not be replaced by timetabled measurement in the name of assessment. The process is not imposed; create it. While this is a practical guidebook for educators, it may also be of interest to families and others who work closely with young children.
