We enjoyed a successful collaboration between the National Assessment Service and our local team during the year. Our local RTVs and the child’s parents watched Patrick Pink complete a very comprehensive sensory assessment with an Early Childhood learner.
With the luxury of time, we were then able to discuss our observations at length and Patrick led a session with the RTVs on how to write up the assessment and related teaching suggestions. Our local team incorporated these suggestions into the child’s teaching programmes throughout the year – and her progress was shared with all RTVs.
It proved to be very valuable professional development to have this collaborative, long term focus on just the one child. It was also very rewarding for all involved to see the wonderful gains made by the child.
