Evaluating Early Years Practice in Your School is a comprehensive guide designed to enhance the confidence of Early Years practitioners, enabling them to achieve more while reducing unnecessary workload. This invaluable resource is closely linked to the teaching standards and the Ofsted framework, offering practical strategies for teachers to evaluate their own Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) practice. By focusing on reducing workload and promoting hands-on teaching and learning, this guide aims to support practitioners in delivering high-quality education to young children.

In addressing key questions such as whether children in Reception classes should attend school assemblies, whether young children should be taught to write in nursery, and whether practitioners' plans should be based on children's specific interests or address the needs of individuals with speech and language delay or autism, Early Years specialist Ann Langston provides straightforward solutions for teachers and leaders. The book is organized into chapters covering observation and assessment, continuous provision, outdoor learning, transition, and internal and external evaluation. Each chapter offers practical insights and strategies for practitioners to reflect on their teaching approach, make informed decisions, and feel confident in their own judgments and the effectiveness of their practice.

Whether you are an Early Years practitioner or leader seeking to improve your teaching and learning practices, Evaluating Early Years Practice in Your School is an essential resource. It provides a wealth of knowledge and practical guidance to help you enhance your practice and achieve positive outcomes for young children. By embracing the principles outlined in this book, you can contribute to the development of confident and capable learners who are well-prepared for their future educational journey.
