Study with usrecognised by the Scottish Governmentblended approach of professional training and networking with practice-based assessmentsinformed by contemporary research and international perspectivessuitable for students looking to pursue part-time study in this areaideal for those seeking a qualification while working that will enhance professional practiceThe Early Years Pedagogue offers teachers and high achieving BA Childhood Practice graduates the opportunity to specialise further in their field and best meet the needs of children in nursery and early primary school. The course incorporates the need for teachers and practitioners to critically reflect on the adult’s role in developing and understanding young children’s learning journeys and narratives alongside recognising the vital role that the environment has to play in developing health, well-being and achievement. Its blended approach to learning helps to support professional training and networking across local authorities, alongside practice-based assessments. The Early Years Pedagogue (replacing the Early Years Teacher Specialism) is recognised by the Scottish Government, and many local authorities, as a qualification that provides the opportunity for the early years workforce to develop/strengthen their specialist knowledge of the early years. The course develops opportunities for you to view your work in nursery and early primary settings in Scotland, in line with contemporary research and international perspectives of what makes effective early years pedagogy.
