Outcome 3Understand how to monitor children and young people’s development and interventions that should take place if this is not following the expected pattern.
3.1 Explain how to monitor children and young people’s development using different methods.
There are numerous different methods of monitoring including: observations, body language, behaviour, moods, written records, assessment framework, information from parents/carers, work colleagues and standard measurements.

It is important that you understand the purpose of the observations that you do as part of your role.

There are advantages to doing both these aswell as disadvantages.
The informal observation will be those that you do every day when you are working with the children or young people. These observations will be small but over time they will enable you to build up a picture of the child or young person. The adults may notice that an individual is then able to understand new concepts very easily. It’s likely that the adult will discuss their observations with the teacher as part of the feedback process after working with a child or young person. One of the disadvantages of informal observations is they might not be recorded and things might be forgotten to be passed on.
