Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a dedicated practitioner, you want the very best for your children. You want them to grow up healthy, happy, self-reliant and confident in their abilities. That is why it is vital that personal and thinking skills underpin every aspect of the early years foundation stage. Personal skills enable children to manage stress, to bounce back after difficulties, to understand that mistakes are important for learning, and to communicate and cooperate with others. Thinking skills are about making decisions, solving problems systematically and thinking critically. Continuous Provision: Personal and Thinking Skills gives practical guidance on how to further children’s personal and thinking skills as you play with them, so that they continue to develop their abilities when you are not present. It includes: * Focused sections with a clear breakdown of personal and thinking skills, so that you have the knowledge and confidence to promote children’s development. * Open-ended questions to further each specific skill, as well as practical challenges to enrich children’s learning experiences. * Activity ideas and photocopiable resources to help you plan for continuous provision. Ideal for practitioners who work with children aged from 30 months onwards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the original book – Continuous Provision, Alistair Bryce-Clegg covered what effective continuous provision should look like and how practitioners could achieve it by linking their provision directly to assessment. This new title: The Skills, demonstrates that in every area of continuous provision (like sand, water, role play, small world etc) there are 'pure' skills that children can only learn in that area and there are 'facilitative' skills that children can learn through that area. Each of these 'pure' and 'facilitative' skills needs to be acknowledged, assessed and taught and this is the premise of this new title. In The Skill of Continuous Provision Alistair: Revisits (briefly) the principles of effective continuous provision Looks at each area of continuous provision in turn and identifies a range of 'pure' and 'facilitative' skills Shows how the provision itself (resources) should be leveled 'top', 'middle' and 'emergent' to meet the development needs of all children irrespective of how old they are. Gives some comprehensive examples of how to break those skills down into top, middle, emergent e.g. in 'Paint' he identifies skills that children need to learn when using paint like texturising, application, printing etc. He then takes each of those skills individually and show how a skill like printing could be broken down into three broad stages. Asks and answers questions like: What would really basic, lower level printing look like? What sort of resources would facilitate effective learning in this area of development? By the end of the book the practitioner should have a really practical guide to differentiated skill development in continuous provision.

Book excerpt: With Ofsted's inspectors raising the bar for quality of teaching and learning in the early years, and the additional level of scrutiny on leadership and management, every practitioner must ensure they have in place a systematic monitoring and evaluation process to regularly assess the effectiveness of their provision. Managers need to be able to demonstrate that staff know why they do what they do, and that the services they provide makes a demonstrable difference to the children. This book shows how to construct a robust monitoring and evaluation framework and provides leaders and managers with an invaluable tool to observe, record and maintain the quality of their provision.
