It is important that staff keep regularly updated records of children and young people’s progress and achievements.
These should be based on evidence of learning and may take the form of learning logs, e-portfolios, jotter, homework diary, etc. Learners and staff will need to select whatever best demonstrates the ‘latest and best’ exemplars of learning and achievement.
Much recording will take place during day-to-day learning and teaching activities. In addition, staff will periodically complete profiles of individual and groups of learners when they have been looking in depth at a particular aspect of learning. The key adult will have the overview of this information.
Approaches to recording should be:
- manageable and practicable within day-to-day learning and teaching
- selective and focused on significant features of performance.
It also helps staff to ensure that appropriate support and challenge in learning is in place for each child and young person. It can be used to share success with staff, learners and parents.
