This book is closely linked to the new standards required for EYPS, meaning that it is ideal for those students who want a clear, practical overview of what is needed to gain the qualification. The authors spend time on each standard, deconstructing their meaning and considering and advising on the best approaches to evidence them.



The Edge Hill based team have drawn on their own teaching experience to offer invaluable guidance for both potential EYPS candidates and those students already on one of the EPYS pathways. The book provides:



Practical examples of the standards in personal practice and leadership
Examples of completed assessment documentation
Evidence to link to experience levels
What constitutes evidence and examples of evidence
Experiences of others who have gained EYPS
Continuing professional development after gaining EYPS
The Validation process
Examples of quality practice
Information on what constitutes sufficient experience of working with the three age ranges
