Focus on Individual Planning | INTENT | IMPLEMENTATION

Carefully considered individual planning helps to ensure the best outcomes for children.

As a primary focus of inspections, providers must be able to demonstrate not only that they have a good knowledge of child development and where each child is in relation to relevant learning frameworks (EYFS / RTA / CfE / Foundation Phase) but also that they are carefully considering the best strategies and next steps to encourage progress.

We must take into account the individual needs, interests and development stage of each child in order to plan challenging and enjoyable experiences that will best support learning.

Our Individual Planning & Progress Summaries provide the perfect solution to consider the 3 ‘I’s…

INTENT – What it is that you would like the child to learn or achieve?

IMPLEMENTATION – How you are going to help the child achieve this?

IMPACT – What progress was made?

Versions with the 3 ‘I’s headings NOW INCLUDED!

AND… the INTERACTIONS, EXPERIENCES & SPACES on offer to best support progress.
