To be successful in your role as a practitioner you must be willing to develop your role and better yourself.

I have seen this being done in placement when a practitioner asked children individually, a series of questions and asked them to perform tasks such as putting a brick under a box. This was all recorded by the practitioner who used the information to look at and target specific areas of each child’s learning. This helped to inform planning as the practitioner was able to the information to set up activities which would help the children develop any skills which they had not fully developed prior to the summative
