Are you looking for a way to showcase the Characteristics of Effective Teaching and Learning in your EYFS setting? Do you want to inform and inspire your staff and parents about how children learn best? If so, you will love these bright and informative posters!
These posters are based on the latest guidance from Development Matters 2020, which outlines the three sets of characteristics that support children’s learning and development:
Playing and Exploring: Children investigate and experience things, and ‘have a go’
Active Learning: Children concentrate and keep on trying if they encounter difficulties, and enjoy achievements
Creating and Thinking Critically: Children have and develop their own ideas, make links between ideas, and develop strategies for doing things
Each poster features a clear and concise statement for each characteristic, as well as examples of how adults can support children’s learning through positive relationships and enabling environments. These posters will help you to plan and deliver engaging and meaningful lessons, activities and continuous provisions that foster children’s curiosity, creativity and confidence.
These posters are ideal for displaying in your classroom, staff room, or reception area, as well as for sharing with parents and carers. They will help you to demonstrate your understanding and implementation of the EYFS framework, as well as to celebrate and promote the amazing learning that happens every day in your setting.
