Questions for discussion

Reflecting on your own setting, consider the following:

• How do we know that all children are making very good progress in their learning? What information do we already have and what do we still need to find out?
• In what ways do we ensure that our approaches for planning, assessment and reporting are manageable and effective in improving children’s learning and progress?
• How do we ensure that processes for tracking and monitoring are manageable and effective in improving learning and teaching?
• To what extent do our approaches to tracking and monitoring children’s progress inform children’s next steps in learning?
