Abstract
Aim:
The main aim of the development work was to use research on the characteristics of effective learning and teaching to improve early years practice across Camden settings, resulting in better outcomes for target children and increased confidence in practitioners.
Methods:
Methods used included lesson study, observation, discussion, planning, environment analysis, study sessions, and review sessions.
Findings:
The main findings are that children have made good progress, becoming more confident, self-directed, and willing to take risks. Practitioners have developed their skills and confidence in using a wider range of pedagogical strategies.
Implications:
Practitioners reported increased confidence in their own ability to use the characteristics of effective learning and this in turn meant that the children were more independent, engaged and motivated.
