ERO review

Akarangi · 2024-07-30

Daycare Near Me's analysis of the ERO report — six dimensions with verbatim quotes (methodology).
Curriculum & learning
B
"A review of assessment and planning practices has resulted in improved practice. Actions that promote new learning, and capture current, intentional learning, are evident. Most recent stories capture parents' aspirations for learning. Magic 'wow' moments share the child's response to interesting learning opportunities provided. Stories are collated to capture the richness of children's learning across a period of time."

Improved assessment and planning practices evident; intentional learning captured through stories.

Bicultural practice
C
"Teachers have begun to integrate aspects of children's culture and language into the programme. All cultures are recognised. Bi-cultural experiences are becoming more authentic. The team has identified that cultural responsiveness is an area for ongoing development. ERO's evaluation supports this."

Cultural integration beginning; bicultural experiences emerging; cultural responsiveness identified as development area.
