Effective curriculum and assessment
This module will help you plan and deliver an effective curriculum and assess children's learning. It will also cover the statutory requirements and main non-statutory guidance and what this means for your practice.
All children deserve the best start in life. High-quality early years education is valuable to help them thrive and be healthy and happy. When you plan a curriculum and set up a positive culture and environment that develops the whole child, they can learn in a holistic way, which means they are developing in all aspects and areas of learning. This module will help you to understand how to plan and deliver an effective curriculum. The curriculum is a progression model, which consists of three elements: intent - what you want the children to learn; implementation - identifying and delivering your chosen teaching and learning approaches (pedagogy); and impact - observing and assessing whether your approaches are having the desired impact, so then you can adapt your approaches to ensure all children are securing the intended learning.
On completion of this module you will be able to:
- understand and effectively implement the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) learning and development and assessment requirements
- understand how to plan and then implement your curriculum effectively
- understand how you can use non-statutory guidance to inform curriculum planning and implementation
- feel confident in carrying out effective, purposeful observation and assessment in your early years context
- consider how different factors can impact on curriculum success, especially the practitioner’s role, the approach to teaching and the setting’s culture and environment
