How to defend the value of an NNEB

    News
  • Wednesday, June 16, 2004
    • | Nursery World
I became an NNEB-qualified nursery nurse in 1982. However, recently my employers became concerned that my qualifications were no longer valid, and said that as a result I would not be able to continue in my post as deputy supervisor of a pre-school. However, I found the letter by Richard Dorrance, chief executive of the Council for Awards in Children's Care and Education (Letters, 11 March) to be very useful regarding this situation. I contacted Mr Dorrance directly to explain and he could not have been more helpful.

SATs squashes soul out of teaching

    News

Having gained a degree in Early Childhood Studies and spent time in Sweden observing their educational system, I undertook a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). I have been a Reception teacher for the past three years and although I am confident and highly principled, I still find the top down pressure from SATs frustrating and soul destroying. The PGCE was a total contradiction of my degree. It was more concerned with 'what and when' to teach as opposed to how children learn and creating an effective learning environment.

Unfair criticism

    News

    • | Nursery World
I just want to say that we teachers don't deserve the resentment of school support staff. We know that they should get paid more for the work that they do, but this is not our fault. I work more than double the hours that my colleague, a nursery nurse, does, both at home and after the nursery session. If our salaries were compared by the hourly rate, I am sure I would probably be earning less than she does.

Speaking at the launch of a new report, A Child's Place: why environment matters to children, Mr Clarke acknowledged that the report raises a 'whole string of issues which are complicated and difficult', in relation to children's relationship with their environment.
