This assessment activity is designed to assess your skills and knowledge across the whole unit CHCECE023 Analyse information to inform learning.
Requirements
To complete this assessment activity, you need:
• access to a children’s services environment
• access to the service’s standards, policies and procedures
• access to the National Quality Framework and Early Years Learning Framework
• to be observed demonstrating performance as outlined in Part A
• to complete the tasks outlined in Part B and Part C and submit responses as directed by your trainer/assessor/training organisation
• to ensure you maintain confidentiality as required.

Part A
Your trainer needs to see demonstrated evidence of your performance in the following areas. Observations may take place in your workplace or in a simulated environment. Your trainer/assessor/training organisation will provide guidance as to how these observations will take place.
Demonstration of your performance as outlined in Part A can be undertaken in conjunction with Part B.
Performance evidence Example
Demonstrate how you collected and documented observations of at least three different children, including:
children’s behaviour and learning Show your trainer/assessor how you:
observed the children and kept notes of their behaviour
read enrolment records to identify their behaviour at home and their developmental abilities
read incident and specialist reports to identify behaviour issues.
children’s play preferences Show your trainer/assessor:
an assessment record you have completed that demonstrates you are aware of a child’s interests
how you discussed what type of play the children enjoyed at home.
strengths, interests and relationships. Show your trainer/assessor:
samples of children’s work that helped you identify their interests and developmental strengths
notes you kept about a child’s relationships following discussion with parents and other educators
how you have planned an experience that responds to a child’s strengths.
Demonstrate how you applied information to educational practice, including:
sharing information with families, educators, children, experts and specialists Show your trainer/assessor how you:
arranged meetings and used pick-up and drop-off times to share information about a child with their family
discussed a child’s progress with other educators at team meetings
collaborated with specialists to provide a comprehensive view of a child.
collaborating with families to plan for children’s individual needs Show your trainer/assessor:
how you arranged meetings and informal discussions with families to ensure they were involved in contributing ideas to plan an appropriate experience for their child
shared the child’s program with parents at a one-on-one meeting.
using information gathered to inform planning. Show your trainer/assessor how you:
used the information about a family’s circumstances, culture and interests and their child’s skills, relationships, interests and needs to plan a responsive and appropriate plan of activities and experiences for the child
planned an experience that responded to the child’s strengths and developmental stage.
Part B
You are to collect information about one more child of any age and plan responsive learning experiences for these children to demonstrate that you can:
• collect information about children from a range of sources and over a period of time to help you plan for children
• analyse and assess the information you gather
• use the evidence gathered and analysed to plan appropriate activities
• collaborate and share information with families.
Use a different child of any age from those you may have used for assessments in chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Complete the following tasks.

1. Use a confidential portfolio assessment method (see section 1B) to collate the records you collect about the child. This confidential child portfolio allows your trainer/assessor to see how you analyse information to inform learning.
   Prepare a portfolio for the child.
   Include forms for at least three recording method formats you will use (such as learning stories, anecdotal records, checklists, jottings and event samples). Each format must include space for:
   • the observation record
   • parents and other educators to provide additional information
   • a formative assessment linked to the EYLF learning outcomes.
   Ask your supervisor or educational leader to approve the child portfolio and the methods you will use to collect information before you present them to parents.
   Before observing and collecting information about each child, speak with their parents. Explain your plans and show them the child portfolio assessment you have begun to prepare (the method you will use to document their child’s development). Explain how you would like them to participate in their child’s assessment.
   Check your service policies about how parents give approval for their child to be observed and their learning and development recorded and photographed, then develop a word-processed parent permission form to be used specifically for this assessment task. Have your supervisor check this form to ensure it is professional and contains appropriate information, including:
   • your name
   • the role you are playing in the service (educator, student, volunteer)
   • why you are collecting the information
   • how you will be using the information
   • how the parents will be involved in the process
   • whether the parent allows you to include photographs of their child in your records.
   • whether the parent agrees that you can share the information with other educators and your trainer/assessor
   • how you will maintain their confidentiality by following service policies and procedures, responding to the ECA Code of Ethics, and by storing and using the records.
   Request that the parents sign the permission form. You must have their signature before you start observing the child. Add the signed permission form to the child’s confidential portfolio.
   Gather, document and analyse information about the child who you are working with, adding each piece of information to the child’s confidential portfolio. Ensure each item added is clearly dated and named. Use a range of recording types (for example, enrolment forms, learning stories, anecdotal records, event samples) including the templates you prepared in question 1.
   Ensure the information:
   • spans a reasonable period of time and is collected in different spaces
   • provides relevant and significant background information about the child
   • identifies and describes the child’s learning, strengths, interests, relationships, play preferences and behaviour
   • monitors at least one developmental aspect (for example, physical milestones)
   • includes the voice of a specialist or other professional (if applicable)
   • includes the voice of the child, the parents and other educators
   • addresses assessment principles (valid, representative, significant, relevant, inclusive)
   • includes each of the five EYLF Outcomes.
   Analyse each record you gather in an unbiased and methodical manner so it represents a true and accurate picture of the child.
   You may wish to use a checklist similar to the following to check off the information you have gathered about each child.
