Early Years Teacher Status Diary – GPP Assessments are complete!

Chichester University’s Nikki Fairchild reports on how existing students are progressing and on how the university is preparing to introduce new pathways in September

The Graduate Practitioner Pathway (GPP)

Trainees have all had their final setting visits which took place in the middle of February. The visits included a scrutiny of the trainee’s documentary evidence, an observation of their practice and a tour of the setting which demonstrated their impact. There was a final interview with all trainees which allowed assessors to make their overall holistic recommendations. Following all assessments there was a moderation event where Programme Leaders from the South East Early Years Consortium reviewed files as part of their quality assurance role. I am pleased to confirm that all GPPs were recommended for the award of Early Years Teacher Status – congratulations to all, their award is a testament to their dedication and strong professional practice.
