This certificate explores principles of pedagogy within the particular context of Early Years provision. Starting by considering how the concept of childhood, in the UK, has been developed, it unpacks the values that we hold as early years educators and how these impact the choices that we make in our work with children. The course modules consider how we, as individuals, work in partnership with families and a wide range of professionals to produce the best outcomes for the child. It also considers how our practice is influenced by policy. All learning is underpinned by principles of leading practice and how this can be done most effectively and ethically. With a focus on the interrelationship between a theory with practice, the curriculum will develop your understanding of yourself as a leader and €˜change agent for improvement in the Early Years.
Either a first or second class Honours Degree or evidence of equivalent professional experience and achievement. Individual previous experience of practice with children aged 0-8 years is essential. A significant element of this degree is a critical reflection upon the theory in practice, so current practice with children, although not essential, will be of great benefit.
