Guest Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 I have been asked to write a school impormvemnt plan for the early years- Foundtion stage. Can anybody help me about the language, format and things that I could include. Immediate issues are staff training, time for feedback and planning development of outdoor area development of aseesment, observation and planning. I am the only qualified person in the setting - Nursery teacher Rest of teh staff have either no qualification or have been in a old style reception class as a TA so ther is need for overhauling and training. Please can anybody help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundia Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Hi leo. We have action plans rather than SDP just for foundation and our action plan then forms part of the SDP/SIP, along with those of the other phases and subjects. If you think the format would be of any use to you, I can try and find it and email it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mundia Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I havent fogotten Leo, I just cant find my office through the mess, let alone any single document. Am I the only really untidy person here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 No Mundia, you should see my house! Comes with the territory a bit I think as I have a hoarding instinct and reluctance to throw anything away, just in case... Trouble is husband is the same and so are ths boys now and they're not teachers! Anyway on topic, can't help much but your training needs must be a prioity mustn't they Leo? If you're not all thinking the same way, you're going to have problems with implementation. Good luck. School should also be able to give you some guidance or your LEA. Featherstone Education have a book about auditting the Foundation Stage. could that be a starting point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Don't come and see my house. I promised my husband we'd have a tidy house once I finished my studying- did the nneb, the PGCE and now been teaching -hasn't got any better. Just hide it better -behing sofas, under cushions. No one throws out anythng incase they might be 'resources'! But the thing is I'm not a hoarder just untidy I guess. I try to keep tidy at work so it has to have an outlet somewhere!!!!
