Progress Matters

This e-learning course supports leaders and managers with the process of monitoring children's progress and offers a useful tool to enable them to review how well children in their setting are doing over time.

The course is divided into four sections that take the user step-by-step through the process of:

• gathering information about children's progress
• summarising that information
• entering the summary into a tool for monitoring progress
• analysing the results to make the best use of the information.

Examples are given for each step and include evidence of a child's learning journey, a proforma for summarising progress and a progress monitoring tool. These illustrate just one approach to the process. Over time local authorities may want to contribute their own proformas and tools. One such example from Leicestershire is already available in the Attachments and resources area of this page.

Before launching the course you will need to download these three attachments:

• Ben's Profile Book
• Proforma 1 – Ben's Progress Summary
• Progress Monitor example (the Excel tool).

You can find these in the Attachments and resources area of this page.

After completing the course you may find that you want to raise ideas for discussion. You can do this by adding your comments to Start a course discussion.
