EYP Diary - getting ready for setting visits

 All EYPS candidates have been given information on their final assessment visits. Assessors have been notified and have been in contact with their candidates to agree dates for the visits.

Our deferred graduate practitioner pathway student has met the EYPS requirement – congratulations go to her. There are three undergraduate practitioner pathway students who are deferred, and who are moving to setting visits in June and are making preparations for this.

University of Chichester candidates

We currently have four pathways in progress at different stages:-

Graduate entry pathway and undergraduate entry pathway

There have been three further scheduled sessions for the GEPs to allow them to reflect on further aspects of early years theory and practice. Session one was on developing your pedagogy where candidates could discuss social pedagogy, critical pedagogy and consider their views on different pedagogical strategies. The second was leading in time of change, the session focusing on team dynamics and reflections on different aspects of leadership. The third is due mid-June and will ask candidates to consider the construction of childhood and where they position themselves.
