My manager handed me a UNICEF Report today which looks extremely interesting and likely to give a lot of food for thought - it outlines and compares standards of care and education, measured by a set of benchmarks, in 25 countries. I haven't had time to sit down and have a good read yet - but think I will tonight! Just thought I'd share it as soon as possible...of course, no-one's got anything to do but read with 7 days til Christmas! Report_card_8.pdf

I've never done this before, and don't really know what I'm doing - so please be gentle with me. My dissertation for my BA is about worksheets and their use with pre-school settings. I wonder if you would be prepared to help generate some statistics about the numbers of settings who use worksheets? At this stage I don't need to know what your feelings are about whether worksheets should or shouldn't be used in pre-school - just whether or not your setting uses them! Your responses will help me compare those I get from groups in my Borough, so that I can get some perspective as to whether the results are likely to be representative. Not very scientific, but it w…

Hi all, I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right place, still trying to get my head around the site, sorry. Anyway, I've raised the question 'Can Global Citizenship be taught in the Foundation Stage?' as this is going to form the basis of my dissertation in September and wanted to get the opinions of people who work in different settings day in day out with children. For anyone who doesn't know Global Citizenship pulls together history, geography and R.E and focuses on teaching these aspects with a link to the global dimension. It also covers issues of sustainability, human rights, poverty etc. It is quite a complex topic and even though it is said that it can b…
