The government has shared details of its plans to trial revised Early Learning Goals (ELGs) for children in Reception.

 

The new ELGs will be trialled in a pilot scheme launching in September 2018 and are designed to address the 鈥榳ord gap鈥� while also reducing teacher workloads.

 

The revised ELGs are available to read .

 

The government said that this was 鈥渢he first step鈥� in a wider consultation process to improve the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile after the Primary Assessment Consultation last September.

 

Teachers were said to have given feedback on the pressure to collect 鈥渕ultiple pieces of evidence鈥� to back-up their observations on a child鈥檚 progress.

 

Schools invited to take part in the pilot scheme will be chosen based on their size, 新澳门六合彩官网开奖 rating and free school meal eligibility.

 

Nadhim Zahawi, children and families minister, said: 鈥淲e want to improve education for every child and the early years in a child鈥檚 life are critical in laying strong foundations for future success. That is why we want to free up more time for Reception teachers to interact with their pupils, and make sure they are developing the rich vocabulary, skills and behaviours they need to thrive at school and in later life.

 

鈥淭he schools taking part in this pilot will help test these proposals, designed to cut down the burden of paperwork that exists with the current system. Teachers have the best understanding of their pupils, so it鈥檚 absolutely right that we empower them to use and trust their own professional judgment based on what they see.鈥�
