EYPS Support: Children's language and communication

Delyth Mathieson, early years project manager at Edge Hill University, Lancashire, explains how one EYPS short pathway student worked towards evidencing Standard 15: Support the development of children's language and communication skills.

Mary works for a local authority to support early years settings. There can be challenges in evidencing some standards for some candidates because of the role they have and in this instance, although Mary does have a hands-on approach, leading others is the predominant aspect of her work.

Mary had to consider how her practice could show that she personally promoted children's language and communication skills. For S15, assessors are looking for evidence that the candidate plans and provides opportunities to communicate confidently and supports children to practise their skills in a range of situations, can advise on resources to support this and can lead others as well.
