The Cycle of Observation, Assessment and Planning
Supporting implementation of Pre-birth to Three and early level Curriculum for Excellence

Event Categories: Supporting Practitioners, Curriculum for Excellence, Integrated Children's Services,

Ref: 1623 - Training workshop
‘Skilful and purposeful’ observation, planning and assessment is key to successful implementation of both Scotland’s pre-birth to three guidance and the early phase of Curriculum for Excellence.
When time is so precious, how can you ensure that the process of observation, assessment and planning is valued? How can you build in time to carefully observe children’s behaviours, gestures and actions, know which are significant, think deeply about what you see and use this knowledge to shape planning? How can you ensure these observations are discussed in a meaningful way with parents?
The day will take a common-sense and practical approach to ensuring that the cycle of observation, assessment and planning becomes a meaningful part of the daily/weekly routine, and achieves better outcomes for young children 0-5.

Learning objectives
The overall objective is how to integrate skillful and purposeful observation, assessment and planning into the daily/weekly routine.

The day will focus on how to:

build time in for observation
understand what to observe/what is significant
use this knowledge to shape planning and achieve more effective outcomes for children
discuss observations with parents in a meaningful way.

The content will be consistent with Scotland’s pre-birth to three guidance, Curriculum for Excellence and the SSSC’s Care Standards.
