This Characteristics of Effective Learning document provides a clear and practical breakdown of how children demonstrate learning behaviours across the EYFS. It unpacks the three key areas—Playing and Exploring, Active Learning, and Creating and Thinking Critically—through child-friendly “I can” style statements. These statements make it easy to identify, support and assess how children engage with their learning in continuous provision and adult-led activities. The document supports practitioners in recognising how children explore, stay motivated, develop resilience, generate ideas and think critically. It also highlights how children use prior experiences, problem-solve, and adapt their thinking, helping to build a deeper understanding of how learning happens—not just what is learned. It comes in an editable word format. © 2026 EYFS with Mrs S. All rights reserved.

What’s included: A clear, educator-friendly definition of declarative language and why it matters A swap list that converts common high-pressure phrases into low-demand alternatives High-impact, ready-to-use phrases organised by situation: Starting work Behaviour and conflict Transitions Repair and boundaries When they’re stuck Offering choice Who this is for: Teachers, TAs, mentors, pastoral teams, SEND staff, and inclusion teams Alternative provision, PRUs, specialist settings, and mainstream classrooms Anyone supporting students who experience anxiety, demand avoidance, shutdown, escalation, or low tolerance for perceived control How to use: Keep it on your desk, lanyard clip, clipboard, or classroom wall for quick prompts in the moment Use it as a shared language guide for consistent adult responses across staff Pair it with behaviour support plans, regulation strategies, and restorative conversations Why it works: Declarative language helps students feel safer and more in control by reducing pressure, power struggles, and threat responses. It communicates support, boundaries, and options without turning the interaction into a win/lose dynamic. © All rights reserved to Revolutionary Education CIC.
