Here the Beckies chat about why we need to see the whole child?\\xa0 We unpick how to\\xa0 understand that each child and adult has something they are amazing at doing however not all subjects are celebrated and not all talents are seen or understood.
We discuss why testing children doesn't work and explore why its the educators knowledge of the child that really matters.
Becs and Becky chat about the cost of the child's happiness when they are tested, what environment will you create for the children you work or live with ?

For the sake of targets don't damage children's self esteem
