The Government expects 80 per cent of the judgements on progress towards Early Learning Goals to be based on observations of children in child-initiated play environments. This book explains how to assess through observation of children and 'catching' the evidence of what they know and can do. The book is split into ten sections which take practitioners through all aspects of assessment, explaining the methods, terminology and purposes of different types of assessment. It also includes important guidance on how to include children and parents in the process.
