HELP!!!! Unit 067 Professional Practice in early years setting
 

Can anyone help me answer these questions? The last ones I need to do to complete this unit, and I don't know what to write about. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

2.1 Identify current policies, frameworks and influences on the early years

4.3 Develop strategies to deal with areas of difficulty and challenge encountered in professional practice in early years settings

Also 4.2 Undertake a reflective analysis of own practice - Do I need to write what I could do better in general, or would this be done during an assessment with my assessor or could I use reflective analysis after I do an activity with the children?

Thanks

Hi, does your setting conduct appraisals? or provide feedback about your professional performance and practice? these would be good documents to support a reflective analysis xx Alternatively can you contact your tutor to ask what they're expecting for this or if these sample self-appraisals are suitable to use.

The policies, your home nation's framework and influences that you identify for 2.1 are what you'll look at with greater depth in 2.2+

Unit 067 also called EYMP 4

You'll also find information in a level 3 CYPW handbook

Thanks Ruthierhyme, that thread is a great start for 4.3, and now have some ideas of things to write about.

For 4.2 - I am currently in between settings (my preschool closed in July and I will be starting a new placement in September) So I'm not sure about appraisals yet. We did complete some in my previous setting, and I have done some reflective practice with my assessor in the past, but I'm not sure if these cover it or not. I will try to get in touch with her and ask, but she works term time only! Was being a little impatient and hoping I can get all my written stuff done before end of summer holidays.

For 2.2 - I was planning on explaining how the following have impacted on our current polices, frameworks and practices. Will these cover 2.1 as well, I thought they might but I wasn't totally sure. Will these be enough to complete the outcome, or are there any I have missed?
