These may be small but over time will help build up a picture of each pupil. Formal observations are more detailed, they require you to sit away from the children and not interact with them. Observations are important as they enable us to assess and evaluate pupil participation and progress even more closely. All findings must be reported back to the teacher who in turn will report back to the parents and carers of the child. The Assessment Framework is the way in which a child is assessed to determine whether they are in need and what the nature of those needs are.
1.1 Different reasons why people communicate. When in early years setting, people communicate for a range of purposes, such as, to give/receive information or instructions, to discuss an issue, to express needs/opinions and to develop their own learning. When those, who provide care for children and young people, communicate, their practice becomes better adapted and communication is vital to work together as a team. According to K.Beith et al “as an early years practitioner, the way you communicate with adults will also affect the quality of care provided for the children” and it is important to communicate effectively to ensure that everyone has clear information and can understand your actions. (Beith.K et al,Pg.2, Level 2 certificate for the Children and young people’s workforce, 2010, Heinemann, Harlow) When I work with children I communicate with children and young people to build relationships, verbal or non-verbal communication may be used to help children and young people feel welcome and valued, and to co-ordinate activities.
However for the other students in the class we would be working on their targets during this time. Adapting the maths lesson on the NC to them all individually, we have TAs on a one to one with each child so they get the best help, and while Lillie is being asked by her TA at the time another TA would be working with their student for instance working on the physical skills to knock a green bottle over as they are learning, how to use their arms etc. We use the NC and EYFS, we adapt all to the children we have in our class individually, making sure they are getting the best development skills for them at that time. Task 3 – 3.1 Methods of observations include the following; * Snapshot – Which means; you observe the pupil at a specific time, for example, behaviour during a certain activity. * Structured – this would be observing a pupil during a particular activity set up to gain exact information about the pupils learning.
Standard 1: Understand the principles and values essential for working with children and young people. 1.1.A Think of a particular situation when you were able to treat children, young people, their families and their carers with respect. Respect implies having due regard for the feelings, wishes or rights of other people. In the context of a child, young people or their families respect would relate to showing due regard to their feelings, their wishes and also their rights in the context of how one relates, responds and treats them. The basic way of treating someone with respect is to ensure that their interest and welfare is at the forefront of all dealings and interactions with them.
Children will lear and develop when ether is a friendly environment with people they trust. As a role model gain trust its important ,so children and young people can be confident to talk to you,be confident and focus and develop the selfs. Every child is different so we should adapt the way we communicate to fulfil the individual needs. Always communicate in a appropriate way to match the stage of development,personal circumstance and need of that person you are talking to. 1.2 Explain the principals of relationship building with children,young people and adults .
2. Explain how communication affects relationships in the work setting? To be able to care for a child in an effective way we must have a good, strong relationship with the child, their parents / carers and other professionals that may be connected to the child. This relationship is made stronger by the way in which we communicate and how good our communication is with each other. Some ways that relationships and communication are of importance in the early years are : Sharing & Gaining Information, Settling In / Establish New Relationship’s, Supporting children’s play & learning, Transitions.
Communication is vital in building that positive relationship needed for trust and respect, something that is very much needed when working with children, young adults and their parents. It is also important that we model positive and effective communication skills when we are asking pupils to think about how themselves are communicating. If we do not communicate effectively how we expect young adults and children the message is mixed and they find it hard to understand what is acceptable and how we should communicate with each other. 1.2 As Teaching Assistants we need to build effective relationships in order to do our job well. there are several generic principles that underpin building a strong relationship with children, young people and adults: Effective communication - one of the most important aspects of building a relationship is finding a way to communicate effectively.
To provide help and support to the children and their families you need to recognise their needs and rights as a practitioner. By observing the children this is how you can find out the children’s needs along with other things such as their interests. As a practitioner you should communicate with the parents as this will give you more understanding of the children’s needs (if the child may have an unknown disability-dyslexia and needs extra support). Another way of identifying children’s needs is to listen to them to find out what they desire and need. Tassoni.

However, we can aim to offer each unique child equality of opportunity suited to their individual needs and requirements. We as staff need to understand the needs and requirements of each individual child. For each child to have equal opportunities, settings they learn and play in must ensure that they and their families are fully included in the setting, taking into account the diversity of the children and families who come to the setting. Inclusion is the process of making this happens. Working towards inclusion involves striving to remove barriers to children and their families.
