Improving the Early Years Curriculum (CPD Video: 2hr 7min)

Description

Speaker: Sarah Quinn

The early learning goals are changing. This means that schools and early years settings will have to rethink their early years curriculum. Some changes are pretty dramatic, like the introduction of ‘Self-Regulation’ as a goal, and some are very welcome, like the focus on numbers 1-10 in ‘Number.’ Many questions include, ‘Where does shape, space and measure’ fit into my practice?’ and ‘How does this prepare children for the next phase in their education?’

This video training will enable you to:

• Explore the goals and begin to understand what they actually mean;
• Evaluate your current curriculum and look at what needs to change and what is working;
• Alter your current curriculum offer to ensure the curriculum takes account of the new early learning goals;
• Start to look at observation and assessment against the new goals;
• Look at guidance for the goals, curriculum and new early years foundation stage profile.

This training will enable you to feel more prepared for the changes in the early years and to consider your practice carefully. You will be able to examine and evaluate potential new ways of planning, teaching and assessing.
