First published in 2015, The SSTEW Scale has been widely used in
early childhood education and care, in all sectors across the
world, to enhance the quality of education, and monitor and assess
practice. It explores pedagogy and practice that improve
children’s social-emotional development, self-regulation,
language, and critical thinking. The SSTEW Scale is an innovative
method of assessing the process quality of an early years education
environment and pedagogy. It promotes practice where staff provide
sensitive, responsive relationships and high-quality interactions,
which includes supporting children’s social, emotional and
communication skills. This scale also helps educators to engage
children in thinking deeply, problem solving and reasoning,
including items which support the four competencies: critical
thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration, all
identified as life-long skills needed for all children in the 21st
century by the World Economic Forum in 2016. This new edition
includes updated information about the evidence-base for SSTEW and
children’s development and learning as well as the expansion of
examples and supplementary information accompanying the indicators.
In addition, there is a stronger focus on formative assessment and
new additions to the assessment section. The SSTEW Scale can be
used to support research, auditing and practice uplift. It is a key
text for the sector to assess and improve the quality of provision
during audits, and for educators seeking professional development
by improving their knowledge of excellent practice.
