48 Signpost to Research – Observation, Assessment and Planning Many staff working with very young children are already familiar with New Zealand’s exemplary national curriculum, ‘Te Whariki’, which has been developed for children aged 0–5 years. This research paper gives an overview of the principles and framework of Te Whariki and appraises its early implementation. It goes on to discuss an action research project which trialled the use of ‘Learning and Teaching Stories’ as a user-friendly approach to assessment and self-evaluation in children’s centres. Podmore, V, and Carr, M (1999) ‘Learning and Teaching Stories: New Approaches to Assessment and Evaluation’ – Conference Paper, AARE – NZARE Conference on Research in Education, Melbourne, 1 Dec 1999 [online] www.aare.edu.au/99pap/pod99298.htm See also Scottish Government (2008) Growing Up in Scotland: Sweep 2 Overview Report, Chapter 5: ‘Activities with Others’.

PARTNERSHIP WORKING Partnership Working ‘A central issue for children and parents in the research conducted in support of the framework is the way that services engage with them, in terms of patterns of delivery and relationships with the people delivering those services. This implies a desire for a stronger and more personal relationship with a smaller number of people delivering services that meet a wider range of needs. This, in turn, implies a need for service redesign and new roles within the workforce.’ (Scottish Government, 2008d p 22) Partnership with Parents Staff working with children in early years settings naturally build meaningful and positive relationships with parents. Working with parents involves understanding and respecting differences, individual circumstances and the changing needs of children and their families. It is essential that all staff working with families respect and value parents and their role. Being a parent can be a rewarding and satisfying responsibility. It can, however, be complex at times and some parents may find the experience of being a parent more challenging than others. There may be times when they need support and assistance from various service providers. WWW.LTSCOTLAND.ORG.UK/EARLYYEARS 49
