Description
Assessment as learning is an important aspect of the Early Years Learning Framework (V2.0) that involves engaging children to think about their own learning experiences and develop an understanding of themselves as learners. Educators need to be skilled at partnering with children to support children’s ownership, self-assessment and appreciation of their learning.
This Research in Practice Series book is about practical ways educators can collaborate with young children to assess and appreciate their learning. Drawing on current research to show how educators support children to assess what they already know, can do or want to learn, this book focuses on:
- understanding what learning is—knowledge, skills and dispositions
- recognising and appreciating young children’s self-assessment
- the educator’s role—strategies for engaging with children about their learning aspirations and achievements.
