The Graduate Practitioner Pathway (GPP)
Trainees have completed their final written assignments and feedback has been provided. All trainees have been encouraged to demonstrate they have met all the Standards and underpinning strands in their assignments, so assessors can then be clear of their knowledge and understanding of early years theory and practice. To support trainees moving to their final setting visit there was a seminar on the document portfolio.
Trainees broke into small groups and gave peer feedback on each other’s portfolios; this allowed them to explore different sources of documentary evidence with their peers.
There were three taught sessions prior to the setting visits. We were fortunate to welcome two guest speakers. The first, Mary Pye, was able to discuss working with phonics in the Early Years and the links to KS1 and KS2. Here trainees were able to reflect and discuss their own settings and to consider additional ways to enhance phonics and early reading.
