Foundation Stage Data - What does it Mean
This will explore how data gathered from the Foundation
Stage Profile at three points during the year can be
used to enhance provision and monitor children's
progress. There will be an expectation that some work
will occur in school between each session. It is aimed
at those who have experience of working with the
Profile. Foundation Stage Managers or assessment
co-ordinators who are not based in the Foundation Stage
may find it useful to attend, possibly with their
reception teacher.
