Over the course of a year or a programme or a cycle, students amass a significant quantity of written work, some of which shows progress and development, some achievement. These are of course not the same, and a focus on the latter harms the former. Portfolio assessment means the student selects pieces from his/her annual, programme or cycle corpus against defined criteria and the selection as a whole is then assessed, being both representative as will as summative.
Play for young(er) chidren is seen as "a good thing" and is often described as the child's "work". "Play-based" programmes abound, however play is frequently misunderstood and mis-applied and can have little or no educational value. This session considers Developmentally Appropriate play and how it can be an effective learning and teaching strategy.
