E1, Milestones in chart form

E2, Milestones in chart form

E3, Two theoretical perspectives: Bandura and Gesell. Albert Bandura’s theory is that children learn from watching other people via observation, imitation and modeling. He used a bobo doll experiment where children copied what the adults did to the doll good or bad. We as practitioners are expected to be good role models for children for them to observe and imitate. ‘learning would be exceedingly laborious not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do’. (walker.M.2011.pg109)
Arnold Gesell developed ‘deveolpmental milestones’ he developed techniques for observing children in natural play situations without disturbing them the ‘Gesell dome’ a one way mirrored dome.
Gesell’s ‘developmental milestones’ are still used by child health professionals today. We as practitioners would be expected to observe and record childrens development regularly using Gesell’s ‘developmental milestone’ as a guide to their progress.

E4, Three observations included

E5, I have used a checklist observation method; a checklist observation is a list of specific milestones that can be easily and clearly specified. Eg Can child A throw and catch a large ball ‘yes’ or ‘no’ tick relevent answer.

Through observing a child, it helps you to understand and be aware of the child’s interests and levels of capability as well as engaging and stimulating program curriculum. Every practitioner should analyse observations they make of children so they can identify strengths and weaknesses and how far the child has developed. By doing this, practitioners can see where a child requires support and can plan out activities to further develop a child’s needs and are able to make relevant referrals if external support is needed. Observing is also known as a fundamental part of the EYFS, where practitioners are expected to observe children and make notes which helps to keep a record of each child’s progress through the EYFS and enables practioners to plan ahead on areas of learning that need to be more focused upon.…

To ask permission to observe the child I spoke to the room leader and explain in detail everything I would do and gave them a signature signing sheet so that they were able to ask the parent for permission and ask for them to sign the permission slip. I organised each of my observation’s be checking the outcomes for the child’s development for their age using the EYFS development matters. This was so I would know what I need to be writing about for example there is no need to write that a child used a pincer grip holding a toy hand bag if I am observing there social skills! I kept organised by also drawing out my rough tables for time sample and checklist before hand to make sure I wasn’t drawing it out during the observation.

These standards are designed to provide assurance to teachers and parents about the quality of contribution to pupils learning that HLTA's can be expected to make. Additional, legislation and regulations requires that HLTA’s do not act or take the place of teachers, and that head teachers have influence on selecting staff. While standards are generic across all key stages, training provides opportunity to build on and develop their prior specialist knowledge and experience. Although training will be varied, all HLTA’s will go through the same preparation and assessment process.…
