Nursery World - EYP Diary - all about 'personal growth' and 'positive benefits'

While the last cohort of EYPs to be assessed on the 39 standards gear up for the final phase of their programme, those who enrolled in September are preparing to engage in debate about the latest developments in safeguarding. EYP programme co-ordinator Nikki Fairchild provides this month's update from the University of Chichester.

The Graduate Entry Pathway and Undergraduate Practitioner Pathway candidates who started with us in January 2012 are now coming to their final summative assessments. All candidates have been submitting written assignments or reflecting on their module assignments as part of the summative assessment. There have been sessions on compiling the portfolio of documents, witness testimonies and preparation for setting visits along with a range of individual tutorials to discuss progress. The setting visits are being booked for the first two weeks in December and these candidates will be the last to be assessed on the 39 EYPS Professional Standards.

We are in the process of recruitment for January 2013. The University of Chichester is recruiting for the Graduate Practitioner Pathway, while some of our Consortium partners are recruiting for the remaining pathways. We are also putting out feelers for the September 2013 intake when we will run all four pathways again.
