The Graduated Approach to Nurture
Progress for learners following the Nurture Curriculum pathway is currently assessed using the Boxall Profile Online, which is the first step along the graduated approach to Nature and is the best way to identify and address hidden issues. This ensures that every child and young person gets the support they need to engage fully with their learning.
The combination of the assessment tool and the graduated approach helps to create a nurturing and supportive environment, ensuring children emotional and social wellbeing is addressed effectively throughout the different levels of support.
The assessment process is based upon careful observation and the identification of concepts or skills which require further exploration as well as a combination of information from different sources. Information from home and parental perspectives is vital to form a holistic profile.
A range of professions may be involved to supplement the knowledge and information gathered by classroom staff.
