report and the child and their family to anyone other than authorities and service staff members (provided this does not place the child or another person at risk).

a. List what you would do

b. What method of observation are you going to use and why?

Assessment for learning describes an ongoing process of gathering and analysing information about children’s learning in order to enhance their learning. It occurs whilst children are playing or participating in activities and on a regular basis. For example, an educator working with a baby who is just beginning to reach for objects may observe that when an object is not in the baby’s line of sight, she does not reach for it. Having assessed the situation, the educator moves the object into the baby’s line of sight and the baby is able to see and reach for the object. Once the baby is reaching for the object, the educator might place the object slightly further away to encourage the baby to roll towards the object. However, if the educator observes that this frustrates the baby, she will move the object closer to the baby.

Educators assess for learning in order to enhance children’s learning rather than to make comparative judgments. Because it is ongoing, frequent and usually in context (meaning that it is not necessary to remove the child from the situation in order to assess that child’s learning and development) and intended to support learning (meaning that the person who conducts the assessment is the one who acts upon what she or he has learnt from the assessment), assessment for learning is frequently referred to as formative assessment.

1. What assumptions are made in this scenario?

You are a group leader in a child care centre, in charge of a group of three-year-old children and a roster of several educators. Each educator is responsible for making observations about each child in the group and about one child in particular. Sienna is a child in your group who you have been assigned to gather information about her emerging skills.

1. List how you would gather information regarding Sienna’s emerging skills.
