Characteristics of Effective Learning
The characteristics of effective learning underpin our pupils learning within the Early Years Foundation Stage. The ways in which they engage with others and their environment – playing and exploring active learning and creating and thinking critically – underpin learning and development across all areas and support the children to remain effective and motivated learners. We make judgments about a child's demonstration of the Characteristics of Effective Learning at their particular age and whether or not the learning behaviours defined within these characteristics describe the child.
