The teachers talked to the parents about a word they would use to describe their child and these were the words that were shared. On the display there is a large photograph of each child below the word. These are the words that these parents use to describe their child and the aspirations they hold for them.
This is a great opportunity to include these aspirations and visualisations in the documentation to 'speak into that space'.
It is powerful to affirm these aspirations and parent observations by paying attention to them with the child for planning, observations and assessment.
There are lots of opportunities to notice, recognise and respond to what we observe with children and use that information to innovate and be creative with our teaching
Bringing these aspirations from parents, their voice being heard to inform the teaching and included in the documentation
I thought this was a great way to make visible the image of the child each parent holds for their child and include this in planning and assessment - making these things visible alongside all the other valued learning outcomes.
