This is what practitioners have been saying about the new Trackers Plus

Wow!!!! Love these ... they are so to the point. Well set out and I love how it gives examples of evidence to look out for. The prompting of how to follow on with activities or the support that will be given when planning new or extended activities is something that I have been asking the team to do. Planning and evaluating all in one for each child… great. I think that this will prompt each member of the team to be thinking about each child’s abilities and to plan for each individual’s needs.

I really like this assessment book. I think they are really straight forward e.g. date witnessed, evidence, and examples. The examples of what the staff witness are great. They will help staff with how to make an appropriate assessment in their trackers too. This fits in with the training we have been giving – trying to condense the comments for evidence. Brilliant, thank you.

I really like the new version and know early years advisors will love it.

With the EYFS now well in place, we have had a number of requests for a more detailed observation and recording system than Trackers 0-5 – so we developed Trackers Plus (just to reassure those who wish to carry on using Trackers 0-5, don’t worry – these will continue to be available).

How is Trackers Plus different?
Trackers Plus displays all the Development Matters within each Area of Learning (very much like the guidance), but here's the benefit – alongside each of these we have provided prompts or examples of the skills, understanding or competence to look out for. These prompts will also help you when planning new or extended activities. Also included are the assessment scales at the back of the book.

At 120 pages it is almost double the size of the original Trackers ... but as you can see we've kept the prices down and, at certain quantities, the prices have remained the same. Nurseries and childminders also asked for more differentiated pricing ... which we’ve done (see below).

The best way of trying to describe the new Trackers Plus is simply to show some sample pages and a 'how to use Trackers Plus' page from the book.

So here are some sample pages from a few of the Areas of Learning (if you are unable to read the attached file, please click on http://www.adobe.co.uk where you will be transferred to the Adobe Acrobat website.  This will allow you to download Adobe Acrobat Reader free of charge).
