A PowerPoint designed to be reduced to 4 or 6 to a page and stuck into Learning Journey books for summative assessment. Characteristics of Effective Learning and Areas of Learning statements for Foundation Stage (EYFS 2012) children.

I hope you find them useful xx

Apologies if already uploaded - I couldn't find it. This is my LA's current tracker system to cover the whole of the EYFS in its current state. The only bit missing is scale points 9 on the profile. This will be changed once the LA study the new Development Matters and get the new ELG format for the 2013 profile.
