Record Keeping and Other Tips for New Teachers

Keeping Teacher's Records Secure

When you’re a first year teacher, you will have many different aspects of teaching to manage. In addition to designing lesson plans and actually teaching students, you’ll need to come up with an effective classroom management plan.

Record keeping and organization can be a very time consuming aspect of classroom management. You need to set up systems that will help you keep track of all the different records you need to keep for each student. Once you do this, you can focus on the other aspects of your job.

Keep Good Records

One of the best things you can do is to keep good records. In addition to grades, you need to record the times you send notes home, when you had to report a student to the office, or if you had to contact a parent directly.

Some of grade keeping software has a place where you can easily input this information along with your attendance records. If you do have written correspondence, it’s always a good idea to keep it on file. This helps to refer back to it at a later date. Having a centralized system or DMS for managing your documents will help keep you efficient and organized.

Another very important aspect is to keep up with grading papers and making sure you’re entering them correctly into the computer. This will help you avoid problems down the road when it’s time to submit grades.

You will be handling physical documents from students frequently—using a document scanning solution will streamline this process for you.

Plan, Plan, and Plan Some More

Classroom Record Management Plan

This will give your lessons more focus, and make it easier to determine which core aspects you want to include in each lesson. Keeping a binder or folder to organize your plans will save you time when you teach the subject again next year.

Be sure to take notes or document things you would like to adjust to make your plan work better over time.

Establish a Rapport With Parents

As a teacher, it’s important to have the parents on your side. One easy way to do this is to send home a disclosure statement at the beginning of each year or each semester.

This statement clearly outlines class rules and explains your policy on makeup work, attendance, and extra credit. Including a calendar that outlines what you will be covering each month gives the parents an idea of what you’re working through.

If you are teaching elementary school students, a weekly newsletter can really help build your relationship with parents. Be sure to keep physical or digital copies of that on file too.

Collaborate With Other Teachers

If you’re on a team, you may want to coordinate your assignments to help the students get deeper into the curriculum. Other teachers can be one of your best resources.

Create a Classroom Management Plan With High Expectations

Students will rise as high as you challenge them to. If you set clear expectations the first few weeks of school and expect your students to stick to them, you’ll have an easier time managing your classroom all year.

Be sure to clearly post the rules you want your students to follow, so there’s a clear understanding that every student needs to respect your rules and your classroom.

It also helps to be available to offer extra help after school or before school as needed. This lets the students know that you care about them and will help them when they need it.

Seek a Mentor

Some school districts have begun implementing a mentoring program for new teachers. Studies have shown that new teachers with mentors are more successful and will continue to teach after the first year.

If your school does not have a mentoring program, you should look for one on your own. Usually finding someone within your department will be the most helpful. If you can talk about your concerns with someone who understands what you are going through, you will have a better chance at being successful.

Establish Positive Relationships With Students

Teacher with Students

You can also work on this by offering tutoring and review sessions, being open to makeup work or extra credit and by establishing clear guidelines on expected behavior. If you come into the classroom with a positive attitude each day, that helps too.

Have Fun With Your Students

Last but certainly not least, in order to make it as a teacher you need to make time to have fun with your students. When you plan an engaging interesting lesson plan, you will have the chance to have fun.

For example you can offer rewards for good behavior or rewards if the class average is above a certain percentage on a test or assignment. You are the one who determines how much fun you have in your classroom.

Quick and Easy Notes: Practical Strategies for Busy Teachers

Accreditation standard 4: assessment of child progress.

Teachers’ knowledge of each child helps them to plan appropriately challenging environments and activities that are tailored to the children’s strengths and needs. Assessing children regularly is essential to build that individualized knowledge—and to identify children who may benefit from more specialized supports. This article offers practical tips for you to engage in systematic, observation-based assessment by keeping anecdotal records on each child.

With so many required assessments, it’s understandable why the word itself may bring up negative feelings for teachers. But understanding the different types of assessment and how you can use them to support your reflection and planning is important.

High-stakes summative assessments are used to gauge children’s learning against a standard or benchmark. Summative assessments are often given at the end of the year and are sometimes used to make important educational decisions about children.

In contrast, formative assessments are ongoing and tend to be based on teachers’ intentional observations of children during specific learning experiences. Many teachers find formative assessments most useful when planning learning experiences, activities, and environments. Your notes about what children are able to do while they engage in real-life tasks such as block building, retelling a story, or climbing on a playground structure provide a wealth of information. Getting started with the quick, easy strategies in this article will help you develop a system for taking useful notes. These notes will ground your teaching decisions and enrich children’s portfolios with examples of their everyday learning.

From notes to records to planning

Anecdotal records are brief notes teachers take as they observe children. The notes document a range of behaviors in areas such as literacy, mathematics, social studies, science, the arts, social and emotional development, and physical development. When recording observations, it’s important to include a concrete description and enough details to inform future teaching strategies. For example, a statement such as “The student was on task” provides no information about the task or the behavior, but a statement like “The student built a tower from colored cubes, creating an AB pattern after looking at a card that showed a similar alternating pattern” provides concrete evidence.

To avoid vague notes, list the associated learning center or subject area and include a specific description of what the child is doing. Of course, time is always a concern in preschool classrooms, and children move quickly from one task to the next! Abbreviations can help capture detailed observations in an efficient way.

For example, instead of stating, “Leah uses inventive spelling,” an anecdotal note could include an abbreviation for the center Leah is playing in and evidence of her inventive spelling: “Leah—DP [dramatic play center]—Wrote grocery list: BACN, aGS, sreL.” (If time is short, Leah’s teacher could also take a photo of Leah’s writing and embed it along with the anecdotal record in Leah’s portfolio.) The evidence in Leah’s note gives insight into the consonants and vowels she is learning and the letter forms she can produce. It also aids the teacher in better understanding Leah’s progress on the continuum toward standard spelling, helping her be more informed about how to support Leah instructionally.

When taking anecdotal records, it’s important to consider word choice. Statements that begin with words like can’t or doesn’t promote a deficit view and do not support future instructional planning. For example, the statement “Logan doesn’t identify all his letters” is very different from “Logan identifies the uppercase letters A, B, G, N, L, T, Z.” Writing what children can do ensures that instructional decisions are grounded in children’s strengths.

Being a Neutral Observer

It’s easy to draw conclusions about a child, especially when you have a history with the family, such as previously teaching a sibling. But no two children are exactly alike, even if they share the same family, community, or culture. Familiarity with children and families may make it easier for you to develop the home–school connection, but it shouldn’t affect how you view or treat a child. Similarly, familiarity with a child’s community or culture may give you helpful context, but it should not lead to making assumptions—positive or negative. Anecdotal records are intended to be neutral observations of a child’s behaviors and interactions, so it’s important to guard against assumptions and biases.

It’s helpful to periodically review your notes to look for examples of bias. To do this, reflect on ways the notes have been written to see if they’re objective. Then look for patterns in the notes to see if subjective comments are linked to any one child or to a group of children. Identifying these patterns can help reveal unconscious assumptions and can assist in writing more objective notes in the future. You can also ask a trusted colleague to review your notes for the same purposes.

Organizing and managing your anecdotal records

Daily anecdotal notes can be quick to write and easy to file and organize. They should also serve as the basis for reflective practice.

Be selective about the behaviors you observe. Having a specific focus can help you pay attention to the most important details during observations, making your anecdotal records more useful for planning or for individualizing future instruction. In addition, it removes the unreasonable expectation of documenting everything for every child every day.

One suggestion for getting started is to divide the class into small groups of about five students. Assign each group a day of the week, and then concentrate on observing just those five students on their assigned day. These daily focus groups are a good way to organize and manage record keeping—and they prevent children from slipping through the cracks. Here are a couple examples of anecdotal record-keeping systems that use daily focus groups.

Post-it notebook

A Post-it notebook uses a form for each child that has six boxes. Teachers often choose to label the boxes Reading, Writing, Math, Science/Social Studies, Social/Emotional, and Other, but the form can be tailored to highlight any content areas or learning domains that you choose! As you make observations, record them on a sticky note and place it on a clipboard. At the end of the day, transfer the notes to the child’s form in the appropriate category. Keep the forms in a three-ring binder with dividers separating each daily focus group, or organize the forms alphabetically.

Index cards

The index card system uses individual index cards color-coded by daily focus group (for example, Monday’s group is assigned green index cards, Tuesday’s group is yellow). Use a binder clip to keep each group’s index cards together, then use the cards throughout the day as you capture and record observations on group members’ individual cards. At the end of the day, file the cards in a box, and then pull the cards for the next day.

You may choose to record literacy behaviors (or any other content area you’re emphasizing) on one side of the card and math behaviors (or another content area) on the other side. Additional cards can be used to capture behaviors in other areas, or a card can be subdivided. Once a child’s card is full, issue a new one. You can also easily take the cards outdoors when observing and recording children’s social interactions on the playground.

Reflecting and using anecdotal notes

A manageable system (like those described earlier) makes it easy to collect the information you need to reflect about what the children are learning. Reflection and anecdotal notes should be tightly linked and should serve as the foundation for instructional planning, helping you think more deeply about children’s growth and learning. Also, reflecting on these records allows you to generate questions and hypotheses that fuel additional observations and anecdotal records.

Adopting a child-centered approach to assessment helps you view students from a strengths-based perspective and match teaching to individuals’ needs. As a result, children receive more tailored instruction as you become better informed about each child’s progress. Reflecting on anecdotal notes can also help you with grouping decisions. Small groups in the classroom should be flexible, and using observational data can assist you in re-forming groups to mirror children’s changing needs.

You may find it useful to write out your reflections and add them to a child’s collection of anecdotal records; as months go by, being able to review both anecdotal notes and timely reflections can be very informative. The information collected from the anecdotal records can also be transferred to more formal assessments, like developmental checklists.

When a challenging situation arises, such as a child not making progress as expected, you can share your notes and reflections with colleagues to generate new ideas about lessons and activities to try. And if a comprehensive or diagnostic assessment seems called for, you have a rich set of records to share with families and specialists.

Anecdotal notes are also a great source of information when meeting with a family. During a family conference, you can use ancecdotal notes to provide the family with concrete examples of their child’s learning and development and give them insight into their child’s school day. The information can also assist in communicating to families the variety of ways they can support their child at home. Additionally, being able to share detailed descriptions of a child’s cognitive and social behaviors during a conference and in other communications can help families better understand their child’s learning trajectory.

Developing a manageable system for taking and using anecdotal notes in the preschool classroom is the foundation for reflective practice and intentional instruction. A well-organized system frees you to focus on the children instead of on the “how to” aspects of record keeping. Notes with clear language, abbreviations, and evidence provide concrete documentation of children’s emerging behaviors, knowledge, and skills, and they also ground your ongoing reflective practices. This type of intentional, supportive assessment contributes to children’s learning and development.

Record keeping: learning the basics – part 1.

Michelle Neff <[email protected]> , Michigan State University Extension - January 10, 2013

Explore what keeping records means and what youth learn and gain from developing record-keeping skills.

A simple definition of record-keeping is recording selected useful information, usually focused for a specific purpose. It is a way to have an organized, written account of a process, personal growth, accomplishments and participation.

By keeping records, we learn to plan and organize our work, evaluate growth, understand financial needs, improve written communication skills, pay attention to details and deadlines, make decisions and set priorities.

As a result of keeping records, youth are able to reflect on yearly work and accomplishments, document skill development, track goal setting and achievement, receive recognition, understand financial management and gain satisfaction and motivation from observing progress and learning.

How do we start?

  • Determine the purpose of the record
  • Choose an appropriate method or plan for recording the information.
  • Select information to include
  • Enter information for accounting and any explanations
  • Use the information to make a determination, decision or judgment

An article from the Journal of Extension explains that while youth gain a variety of skills and knowledge from participating in 4-H and other youth organizations, they may not always recognize what they’re learning. Record keeping works to help them “realize more of the value of their involvement in clubs, camps, projects and other educational activities.” This ability – once learned and practiced – will lend itself well in more professional settings as the youth grows and matures.

In the next part of this series of articles, explore how to begin to use record-keeping in 4-H in addition to identifying the tools and resources needed to gain and develop this useful skill.  

To learn more about record-keeping and 4-H , visit your local Michigan State University Extension office. Also check out MSU Extension Educator Katie Vanderkolk’s article, “ Keeping 4-H project records develops skills in youth for later success in life ,” which explores the success youth experience as they practice this valuable skill in 4-H projects.

Why were so many metro stations in Moscow renamed?

Okhotny Ryad station in Soviet times and today.

Okhotny Ryad station in Soviet times and today.

The Moscow metro system has 275 stations, and 28 of them have been renamed at some point or other—and several times in some cases. Most of these are the oldest stations, which opened in 1935.

The politics of place names

The first station to change its name was Ulitsa Kominterna (Comintern Street). The Comintern was an international communist organization that ceased to exist in 1943, and after the war Moscow authorities decided to call the street named after it something else. In 1946, the station was renamed Kalininskaya. Then for several days in 1990, the station was called Vozdvizhenka, before eventually settling on Aleksandrovsky Sad, which is what it is called today.

The banner on the entraince reads:

The banner on the entraince reads: "Kalininskaya station." Now it's Alexandrovsky Sad.

Until 1957, Kropotkinskaya station was called Dvorets Sovetov ( Palace of Soviets ). There were plans to build a monumental Stalinist high-rise on the site of the nearby Cathedral of Christ the Saviour , which had been demolished. However, the project never got off the ground, and after Stalin's death the station was named after Kropotkinskaya Street, which passes above it.

Of course, politics was the main reason for changing station names. Initially, the Moscow Metro itself was named after Lazar Kaganovich, Joseph Stalin’s right-hand man. Kaganovich supervised the construction of the first metro line and was in charge of drawing up a master plan for reconstructing Moscow as the "capital of the proletariat."

In 1955, under Nikita Khrushchev's rule and during the denunciation of Stalin's personality cult, the Moscow Metro was named in honor of Vladimir Lenin.

New Metro stations that have been opened since the collapse of the Soviet Union simply say "Moscow Metro," although the metro's affiliation with Vladimir Lenin has never officially been dropped.

Stations that bore the names of Stalin's associates were also renamed under Khrushchev. Additionally, some stations were named after a neighborhood or street and if these underwent name changes, the stations themselves had to be renamed as well.

Until 1961 the Moscow Metro had a Stalinskaya station that was adorned by a five-meter statue of the supreme leader. It is now called Semyonovskaya station.

The biggest wholesale renaming of stations took place in 1990, when Moscow’s government decided to get rid of Soviet names. Overnight, 11 metro stations named after revolutionaries were given new names. Shcherbakovskaya became Alekseyevskaya, Gorkovskaya became Tverskaya, Ploshchad Nogina became Kitay-Gorod and Kirovskaya turned into Chistye Prudy. This seriously confused passengers, to put it mildly, and some older Muscovites still call Lubyanka station Dzerzhinskaya for old times' sake.

At the same time, certain stations have held onto their Soviet names. Marksistskaya and Kropotkinskaya, for instance, although there were plans to rename them too at one point.

"I still sometimes mix up Teatralnaya and Tverskaya stations,” one Moscow resident recalls .

 “Both have been renamed and both start with a ‘T.’ Vykhino still grates on the ear and, when in 1991 on the last day of my final year at school, we went to Kitay-Gorod to go on the river cruise boats, my classmates couldn’t believe that a station with that name existed."

The city government submitted a station name change for public discussion for the first time in 2015. The station in question was Voykovskaya, whose name derives from the revolutionary figure Pyotr Voykov. In the end, city residents voted against the name change, evidently not out of any affection for Voykov personally, but mainly because that was the name they were used to.

What stations changed their name most frequently?

Some stations have changed names three times. Apart from the above-mentioned Aleksandrovsky Sad (Ulitsa Kominterna->Kalininskaya->Vozdvizhenka->Aleksandrovsky Sad), a similar fate befell Partizanskaya station in the east of Moscow. Opened in 1944, it initially bore the ridiculously long name Izmaylovsky PKiO im. Stalina (Izmaylovsky Park of Culture and Rest Named After Stalin). In 1947, the station was renamed and simplified for convenience to Izmaylovskaya. Then in 1963 it was renamed yet again—this time to Izmaylovsky Park, having "donated" its previous name to the next station on the line. And in 2005 it was rechristened Partizanskaya to mark the 60th anniversary of victory in World War II.

Another interesting story involves Alekseyevskaya metro station. This name was originally proposed for the station, which opened in 1958, since a village with this name had been located here. It was then decided to call the station Shcherbakovskaya in honor of Aleksandr Shcherbakov, a politician who had been an associate of Stalin. Nikita Khrushchev had strained relations with Shcherbakov, however, and when he got word of it literally a few days before the station opening the builders had to hastily change all the signs. It ended up with the concise and politically correct name of Mir (Peace).

The name Shcherbakovskaya was restored in 1966 after Khrushchev's fall from power. It then became Alekseyevskaya in 1990.

But the station that holds the record for the most name changes is Okhotny Ryad, which opened in 1935 on the site of a cluster of market shops. When the metro system was renamed in honor of Lenin in 1955, this station was renamed after Kaganovich by way of compensation. The name lasted just two years though because in 1957 Kaganovich fell out of favor with Khrushchev, and the previous name was returned. But in 1961 it was rechristened yet again, this time in honor of Prospekt Marksa, which had just been built nearby.

Okhotny Ryad station in 1954 and Prospekt Marksa in 1986.

In 1990, two historical street names—Teatralny Proyezd and Mokhovaya Street—were revived to replace Prospekt Marksa, and the station once again became Okhotny Ryad.

Record Keeping in Early Childhood Education (Overview, Importance, and Methods)

record keeping education

Record keeping in early childhood education is essential to supporting the complete growth of young minds. It entails keeping track of a child’s development, successes, and milestones over the course of their educational journey. 

Teachers, parents, and other caregivers can successfully adjust the learning experience to match each child’s unique needs with the help of these records.

This article covers the importance of record keeping in early childhood education as well as the numerous ways to retain these records.

The Importance of Record Keeping in Early Childhood Education

Tracking developmental milestones.

Understanding each child’s growth trajectory requires paying close attention to and recording developmental milestones. These developmental milestones cover a child’s physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social-emotional growth.

Teachers can quickly see any developmental delays or learning issues by keeping track of these milestones and implementing targeted interventions.

Personalized Learning

Each child learns at a different rate and in a different way. Maintaining records enables educators to modify their lesson plans and instructional resources to accommodate student learning preferences.

Teachers can develop individualized learning strategies that enhance academic performance and foster a love of learning by knowing each student’s strengths and weaknesses.

Identifying Learning Gaps

Teachers can spot areas where a child needs more practice with particular abilities or concepts by keeping thorough records.

With this knowledge, they are better able to provide extra assistance and materials, making sure that no child is left behind in their academic endeavors.

Parental Involvement

Effective communication between instructors and parents is facilitated by record keeping. Sharing records with parents enables them to actively engage in their child’s educational process, comprehend their progress, and offer insightful information on the child’s growth and behavior at home.

4 Effective Record-Keeping Methods

Notes on observations and anecdotes.

Regular observations and anecdotal notes are one of the core record-keeping techniques. Teachers spend time watching and interacting with kids while they engage in different activities, noting noteworthy events, accomplishments, and areas for development.

Digital Platforms and Apps

Digital platforms and apps have completely changed record keeping in the current era. Teachers can enter observations, benchmarks, and progress using specialized software. 

These websites or apps frequently have options for data analysis, tracking progress, and exchanging records with parents. Some great student management software includes Classe365 and Fedena .

Children’s projects, written assignments, and artwork are all collected in portfolios. These carefully chosen collections offer a thorough overview of the child’s development and accomplishments over time.

Progress Reports

A picture of a child’s growth and academic performance is provided in progress reports at predetermined intervals, such as quarterly or yearly. These reports support setting goals for future development and monitoring long-term progress.

Overcoming Challenges in Record Keeping

Balancing observation and interaction.

While keeping a record of observations is important, it is just as important for teachers to participate and actively connect with the students.

Finding the correct ratio between observation and involvement guarantees that each child’s abilities and interests are accurately reflected in the records.

Ensuring Privacy and Security

The privacy and security of the kids and their families must always come first while keeping records. Teachers are required to abide by data protection laws and only provide information when it is necessary.

Integrating Technology

While technology makes keeping records simpler, some educators could have trouble adjusting to new tools and platforms. Providing instructors with the right training and support enables them to easily incorporate technology into their teaching methods.

The Role of Teachers and Educators in Early Childhood Education Record Keeping

Creating a positive learning environment.

Teachers play an important role in providing a supportive and encouraging learning environment.

Teachers establish the groundwork for effective record-keeping and holistic development by fostering a safe environment where kids feel inspired to explore, take risks, and learn from mistakes.

Analyzing and Utilizing Data

A plethora of data produced by record-keeping can be used to guide instructional decisions. A teacher’s capacity to effectively support the growth of each student depends on their ability to analyze the data to spot patterns, trends, and areas for improvement.

Collaborating with Parents and Caregivers

For a child to succeed academically, collaboration between instructors and parents is crucial. Teachers can provide a holistic approach to a child’s development by involving parents in goal setting, progress tracking, and decision-making through effective record keeping.

Record Keeping and Regulatory Compliance

Obtaining the required licenses.

Record keeping is frequently a necessary regulatory obligation for educational institutions. Maintaining compliance with licensing requirements and other legal duties depends on having accurate and current records.

Facilitating Assessments and Audits

Early childhood education frequently uses audits and assessments at regular intervals. The assessment procedure is made simpler by thorough record keeping, which also provides audits with proof of educational success.

How To Use Record Keeping for Holistic Development

Cognitive development.

Record keeping keeps track of a child’s cognitive development, including language development, cognitive processing, and problem-solving abilities.

Teachers can create effective learning experiences by having a thorough understanding of cognitive development.

Social and Emotional Growth (Affective)

Fostering a child’s social and emotional development involves observing and documenting social interactions and emotional responses. 

These details can be used by teachers to address students’ emotional needs and promote positive peer connections.

Physical Milestones (Psychomotor)

By keeping track of a child’s physical development milestones, such as their fine and gross motor skills, teachers can ensure that their classrooms are suitable for physical growth.

How To Parent-Teacher Communication through Records

Sharing progress and achievements.

In order to keep parents informed about their child’s academic development, strengths, and areas for improvement, records are shared with them.

Involving Parents in Goal Setting

Teachers establish a united and encouraging learning environment for the child by incorporating parents in goal setting based on the child’s records.

Addressing Concerns and Challenges

Records can highlight a child’s difficulties or problem areas. Open communication between instructors and parents based on these records enables them to work together to discover practical solutions.

The Future of Record Keeping in Early Childhood Education

Advancements in technology.

Record-keeping techniques will advance as technology develops, allowing for real-time data analysis and individualized learning approaches.

Personalization and Customization

Record keeping will be even more integrated with personalized learning, giving teachers the ability to create individualized lesson plans for every student based on their individual skills and interests.

Data-Driven Decision Making

To improve teaching methods and educational achievements, educators will increasingly rely on data-driven decision-making.

Record keeping in early childhood education is a significant tool for fostering holistic development and goes far beyond simple documentation.

Teachers can establish a positive and stimulating learning environment by keeping track of developmental milestones, encouraging parental involvement, and using technology.

By embracing improvements in record-keeping procedures, we strengthen our ability to create opportunities for every child’s achievement.

Another heatwave forecast for Perth sparks warnings off back of record-breaking weather

Members of the public at a crowded beach during sunset.

Preparations are underway across Perth for trains to slow down, tradies to down tools and school students to eat lunch indoors as the city prepares for its second heatwave in two weeks.

Temperatures are forecast to reach 39 degrees Celsius on Thursday, peaking at 41C on Friday and Saturday, and remaining in the high 30s into next week.

It comes after temperatures exceeded forecasts for many communities across Western Australia last week, with Geraldton in the state's Midwest recording its hottest day in 12 years. 

Keeping cool in school

Any school students hoping for a day off are out of luck, with Department of Education director-general Lisa Rodgers confirming public schools remained open "during periods of high temperature".

"Schools will be provided with further information this week to ensure they have appropriate measures in place to minimise the impact of the upcoming hot weather on students and staff," she said.

"This includes information from the Health Department, strategies to minimise the impact of hot weather – such as adjusting physical education activities, asking children to eat in classrooms and providing alternative play areas."

Schools are also set to receive instructions on how to reduce their electrical load.

It comes after a power failure left Bob Hawke College in Subiaco without air conditioning last week.

Advice from ambos

St John WA paramedic Matt Didcoe said the organisation was well prepared for heatwaves and in recent times many people had a greater awareness of how to stay safe.

But he said a heatwave could exacerbate the symptoms of many patients.

"Last week, we saw more cases where elderly people with medical conditions were impacted by that heat and it worsened their underlying condition," he said.

Mr Didcoe said warm nights had a big impact too, because the body did not get a chance to recover from the heat stress endured during the day.

"People with chronic health conditions can be more vulnerable to heat stress, but even for tradies and other people working outside, prolonged exposure over multiple days can get to them," he said.

"Sportspeople and athletes that might be training outdoors, and even just people that are outside going about their day, if they're not staying hydrated that can sneak up on them."

Mr Didcoe encouraged people to take care if attending outdoor events, including the Laneway Music Festival in Perth on Sunday, when the temperature is forecast to reach 39C.

Tradies to play it safe

CFMEU state secretary Mick Buchan said careful planning was the key to keeping construction workers safe during a heatwave. 

"It's not uncommon during these hot days to see work onsite begin around 5am, as soon as daylight hits, and then by the time the heat of the day comes in they've knocked off," he said.

Construction workers are expected to stop work when the temperature exceeds 37.5C unless they are working in air-conditioned sites, a rule that Mr Buchan said the union was often criticised for.

But he said worker safety must come first, with the industry having suffered a number of heat-related fatalities in the past. 

"It's not rocket science out there, workers shouldn't be subjected to performing high-risk work in weather conditions that can cause injury and harm," he said. 

Mr Buchan said there had been reports of workers fainting and suffering dehydration during last week's heatwave. 

"There's good employers and there's plenty of rogue operators," he said.

"I know from my organisers what normally happens within the CBD, the jobs around the city, they'll all work in sync once it hits temperature. They'll make sure the area is safe and they'll go home for the remainder of the day with pay.

"But my organisers then head out into the suburbs and the civil projects, where it's a completely different story."

Possible train delays

It is expected trains in Perth will be forced to slow down as extreme heat can "slightly distort" steel tracks.

When track temperatures reach 41C, all Transperth trains are required to drop their speed by 30 kilometres per hour.

A 20kph reduction kicks in on the Armadale, Fremantle, and Midland lines at 37C, while the Mandurah and Joondalup lines can reach 39C before the limit kicks in.

A Transperth spokesman said all train networks in Australia and around the world operated under similar heat protocols.

Busy beaches put lifeguards on alert

Lifeguards are also preparing for a busy few days as people flock to the beach to cool down.

Beachgoers have been encouraged to swim between the red and yellow flags, supervise children, avoid drugs and alcohol, and swim within their abilities.

Surf Life Saving WA's Cam Robbins said sun safety was also important for those who chose to stay out of the water. 

"It's very important people hydrate, seek shade, put on a hat, wear sunscreen, and put on some sunglasses," he said.
