Course content
Assessment
You will demonstrate how you have met the 39 Standards working safely with babies, toddlers and young children (0-5 year olds).
Whilst capturing how these standards have been met you will also demonstrate how your leadership skills have been used to be a challenge, and develop Early Years Practice as a change agent.
The 39 Standards are organised into six areas which are:
· knowledge and understanding
· effective practice relationships with children
· communication and working in partnership with families and carers
· teamwork and collaboration
· professional development.
The process of assessment is:
· a one-day review of skills to provide feedback to the candidates
· five written assessment tasks based on experience of early years practice
· a one-day assessment visit in an early years setting, including a tour of the setting, a review of the written tasks, an interview with the candidate, and interview with others who know the candidates work.
Who is the course for?
Early Years Professionals who have graduated with an Early Years Foundation Degree or BA Hons degree may apply to undertake EYPS. If you already have a full degree or equivalent qualification, depending on your previous experience, you will be eligible to apply.
