PRE NURSERY CLASSES

In pre-primary education, assessment has two tasks. It is used to plan and develop education and to support the well-being, growth and learning of each child. There are no achievement standards for children in pre-primary education.

The teacher follows the development and learning of each child during pre-primary education.  The follow up is on the basis of continuous observations and versatile documentation. Based on the follow-up information and assessment conclusions on the basis of it, the teacher adapts instruction and learning environments, as well as possible support received by children.

The teacher and other personnel involved in guiding the children give daily encouraging feedback on the strengths and development areas of the children. Also guardians are provided with regular feedback on their child.

Pre-primary education also promotes children’s capabilities for self-evaluation, which will support the development of their self-concept and learning skills.

The teacher may formulate an individual learning plan for each child in cooperation with the child and the guardian.  A child’s pre-primary education plan is a plan for the progress of a child’s growth and learning and for the support needed. It is a pedagogical document on the basis of the curriculum. The education providers are not required to draft individual plans for each child in pre-primary education, but in practice most do. A learning plan is mandatory if the child receives intensified support.

A certificate of attendance may be awarded at the end of pre-primary education. Such a certificate may be supplemented with a description of the pre-primary education provided.
