Curriculum planning and assessment for the foundation stage : a guide for practitioners

Helping the reader to put a framework for curriculum planning and assessment in place, "Curriculum Planning & Assessment" for the Foundation Stage is an essential and effective tool for anyone working in an early years setting.

Set within the national context of promoting high quality education experiences, the authors provide guidance on how to assess children's learning on a day-to-day basis, and how to help an early years setting achieve high standards.

A CD-ROM packed with practical, tried and tested resources is included, and the material can be adapted to suit the needs of the individual centre.

The CD-ROM also includes colour-coded curriculum and assessment formats covering planning in all areas, and links directly to: the early learning goals; the foundation stage profile; the national literacy strategy; the national numeracy strategy; and, the national curriculum.
