Hi,

Reflect Learners should look at their action or experiences or learning and think about how this could inform their future action, learning or practice.

What is your experience of information, advice and support about equality, diversity and inclusion? How does it come to you - from colleagues, interaction with parents, senior management, your own research and study, training, reading your setting's policies and procedures, staff meetings, conferences?

By being honest with yourself and recognising that you might well have more negative feelings towards individuals, groups of people or situations you can begin to understand them and work with those feelings. Only then will you respect that each person has rights, equal rights and each are individuals that have unique backgrounds, experiences, with input from those around that shape and possibly influence who each thinks they are and how others are viewed.

From page 217 of the classroom based EYE handbook link to amazon.co.uk

Recognition of our own prejudices: an awareness of our own bias and prejudices will help us to act to ensure they do not result in discrimination or bias towards others.

Welcoming diversity and working with it: by presenting children with an environment which positively encourages diversity, we are helping children to develop a strong sense of self-identity

Helping young children to develop a sense of belonging: *your home nations early years framework will emphasis the importance of developing young children's own sense of self-identity and a positive sense of pride in their own family origins. By supporting diversity and inclusive practice in the setting, young children can develop a sense of belonging to the local community and begin to understand and respect less familiar cultures.


Hope this helps

Hi, I've removed the criteria so it's not open to plagiarism.

The criteria are about you :) how you work in the setting and how the setting supports you in that.

2.2 you need to look at how information, advice and support about equality, diversity and inclusion is used to inform your own practice.

eg.
What staff meetings happen in your setting?
When do you speak to parents about children's life at home?
How do you use the information they give you?
What activity planning do you organise to celebrate diversity - different languages, different festivals, culture and traditions?
What training and awareness is available to you so that you can broaden your knowledge and understanding of equality, diversity and so become a more informed practitioner that's far less likely to discriminate and much more likely to include.

for 3.4 and analyse the benefits of supporting equality, diversity and inclusive practice

maybe add details about the languages, cultures and disabilities that are part of the diversity in your setting. Think about your ethnic background, if you've experienced prejudice and how you would want children to learn about other cultures and disabilities so that they able to understand situations and welcome that diversity.

What festivals do you all celebrate? How do you gather information & advice about those festivals (draw on what you write for 2.2)

Why is doing this good for your professional development and for children's learning?

Hope this helps a little

Hi, you're most welcome to post like this again & have the content removed. Private messages on the forum are disabled sorry.

To be completely honest the person you ought to be seeking guidance from is your tutor/assessor as they know your personal situation the best, the type of setting you're placed in and your learner background so they can tailor their support to you xx
