Is jumping to conclusions, and putting 2+2 together to make 5 part of the course ?
In the post I read the person stated they had NO experience with Pre School children, they had not worked iwth that age group of children before, and had only had a couple of placements in a nursery during her /his degree/EYPS.
I was not criticising the person who wrote this post, (which clearly is not the same as the one you refer to) I am/was criticising the structure of the EYPS and the stupidity of it all.
The qualities you refer to that you have to PROVE, have already been proven by qualified and experienced practitioners who already provide a good quality of education and care to the children in their care. Someone who is "learning the ropes" no matter how many degrees or qualifications they have cannot provide the same quality of education in the early stages of their working life. You learn through practical experience, trial and error, support from colleagues etc etc, and that is the same in whatever field of work you go into. You don't become chief exec of a company just because you have a degree, you learn and develop as you go !!!!!!
