EYFS Training, Part 12: Training the trainer

There's a skill in sharing something you've learned with your colleagues, and it's more in demand than ever, says Mary Evans.

After enduring a few memorably bad early years courses, training and development consultant Tracy Seed was inspired to develop her own 'training the trainer' sessions tailored specifically for the sector.

While EYFS practitioners are obviously becoming more skilled and attuned when it comes to supporting children's individual learning, they can often be out of their depth trying to share information with, or teach, their colleagues.

In the current climate, however, nursery managers are likely to find themselves having to provide more training in-house as local authorities introduce cuts and savings in their training programmes. It also makes sound economic sense that when staff do undertake training, they should be equipped to return and fully share all they have learned.
