Learning Library: Assessing and Documenting Learning

We are on a mission at ECE Learning Unlimited to help early childhood educators and leaders be the best. We have lifted the load for busy early childhood educators, by doing the research for you and curating a collection of resources on a range of common ECE topics into one place - The ECELU Learning Library.

Children deserve nothing less!

Let's learn about Assessment and Learning Documentation

In this learning library we dive into assessment and learning documentation. This is often a very fraught and anxiety inducing area of practice for many early childhood educators and leaders. We are required to assess and plan for children's learning, but we often find ourselves overloaded and confused about what is best practice. 

It has increasingly become a burden on our time. For many educators it can feel like an immense pressure cooker, trying to pump out learning stories continuously.

Do these stories actually make a difference to outcomes for children anyway?

We have collected a useful range of resources to support your thinking and development of assessment and planning processes so that hopefully you can find solutions that work for you and your team, and that bring the joy back into documenting children's learning.
