eymp 1 (1.2) different approaches to work with children

[sarah.payne]

The question is ..... Explain how different approaches to work with children in the early years have influenced current provision in the uk?

I am stuck on Country Specific: Statutory or guidance

This is the only one holding me back on completing this question I ahev done
Reggio emilia, High/scope, Montessori, Steiner, Common Core.

Can any one give me any guidance on this one please?

Hi, the 4 home nation countries of the UK each have individual frameworks for their early years provision, that are each developing in their own way. You'll need to read through the one relevant to where you live ..

1. England - eyfs
2. Northern Ireland - foundation
3. Scotland - prebirth to 3 and Curriculum for excellence
4. Wales - foundation phase

Thank you so I just explain about those contries and how they have thier curriculum etc and then relate it back to The eyfs in england?

Hi, you need to link it to, or write about the framework of the home nation that you live in.
England? NI? Scotland? Wales?

There are common features between them all rather than the direct influences that educational approaches such as Reggio Emilia had/have, notably

- Parent partnership
- Learning through active participation and play
- A need for balancing adult and child led/initiated activities
- That the framework supports practitioners to deliver education holistically although areas of learning are individually named, divided or categorised.
- A recognised importance of assessing children's individual needs

One significant difference between all four here is that England's Early Years Foundation Stage is the only framework to include children aged less than 3 within its statutory positon. All other nations provide guidance, good practice and recommendations - Scotland's Prebirth to three.

Hope this helps a little more.
