E100 Final Essay
Part 1
This assignment is a reflective review of my learning and progress during the course. I will outline developments and achievements in relation to my practice, and, link these to the modules learning outcomes. I confirm that I have read and understood the ethical guidance and requirements for this course. I therefore have obtained written permission from the parents of the children involved in the review. I will ensure that all personal information concerning the children is kept confidential at all times. The names of the children have been changed to protect them from been identified.
Part 2
Since enrolling on this course and writing TMA 1 my role and responsibilities have remained unchanged. I have however extended my knowledge and understanding in a number of topics, this has allowed me evaluate and improve my practice and make changes that I deemed necessary.
As stated in TMA1 my setting adheres to the Early Year Foundation stage (EYFS) from birth to five, in order to support children’s learning and development. I plan structured activities that will extend learning and support children to meet their early learning goals. The planning is attained through detailed observations. They are a key part in assessing children’s development, as explained in TMA3. By using observational methods practitioners can identify any achievements and delays in the child development, and they can also tailor support to suit each child’s requirements.
In TMA2 I talk about parental involvement being paramount for this type of assessment to work. Study topic 3 explains that observations should be carried out not only by the practitioners but by everyone involved in the child’s life. Multiple observations helps to assess children in different situations, giving practitioners a broader prospective on each child. I now encourage parents to observe their own children, as sometimes parents can notice changes in their child development quicker than a practitioner.
