The course suggested in a modular Early Years course for teachers to lead towards a Masters. The other route I have thought of is an NVQ3 but my boss things this would be a step backwards (?) in terms of my having completed teacher training. I would have tho…

   I am a final year student needing help with my special study about leadership in early years. I would be very grateful if you could spend 5 mins answering a few questions. 1)Do you feel confident as a leader? if so, how do you feel this confident was built? if not, why? 2)Have you ever had or been offered training on leadership? (please state name & comment about it). 3) Do you feel more support should be provided for leadership in early years? 4) How would you describe your leadership skills? 5) Do you feel your leadership skills affect your daily work? if so, how? Thankyou for answering my questions this will be very helpful!!…

   Can anyone out there let me know if they are currently studying e123 and e124 with the ou so I can understand if it is really difficult or manageable with support from ou and work. I currently work in wraparound care but am going to get involved in the actual nursery sessions as well and wondered how many would be appropriate for this type of study. I also noticed that somebody said that LEA helped with the cost of this course but I am being asked to bear all costs and its quite a cost. Still do not know how to reply to a message to me so could you help so i can reply direct. Thanks everybody nice to know theres people out there.

    Is the pressure for children to achieve academically causing the less able to give up altogether,causing them to have serious behaviour problems in and outside of school. Lack of physical exercise must stop them channelling their aggression into a worthwhile sport as well as making them unfit later in life. My pre-school is in a semi rural area and our building is now plagued by vandals of both sexes after dark. I have complained to the police many times who tell me they are monitoring it. These children are about 12 years old. They have been at school for 7/8 years just about the time that the government put all this pressure on children to achieve. Thank you for read…
