This practical guide presents a clear step-by-step approach to observation, assessment and planning in early years and primary education with one powerful aim: to ensure that no child goes unseen. It transforms observation from a paperwork task into a meaningful way of understanding children's learning through a simple "What? So What? Now What?" framework.
Drawing on classroom experience and years of mentoring educators, the book combines clear explanations with real-life examples and reflective prompts. It guides readers through noticing and recording children's learning, making sense of observations, and planning responsive next steps.
Chapters cover:
· The “What, So What, Now What” observation process and what this looks like in practice
· Observing learning outdoors
· Embedding observation in daily practice
· Linking involvement, wellbeing and learning
· Making assessment work in practice including effective use of AI
· Planning and creating the conditions for responsive practice
Offering a fresh approach to observation that moves beyond tick-boxes and encourages authentic engagement with children's thinking and development, this is an essential resource for students on Early Childhood and Primary Education courses and practicing educators.
