Guest Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Well, I'm home after a day of SEF training. Despite being delivered by two very competant and knowledgable tutors, I have returned feeling more demoralised and confused than ever. i don't feel the course gave enough info as to how to complete or what to put in or not to put in. i understand that they cannot help you with the content as all settings are different but I was hoping for a few examples of good and bad. The course was more about good practice and auditing which i know is important but I still have no idea how to start this thing. As usual I will have to muddle through on my own (with all my forum friends support of course) Quote
Cait Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Sounds like the one I had. Soooooo frustrating when you give up your time for something you hope will be useful. I think the truth is that these people wouldn't have a clue as to how to go about it themselves really - and are probably hugely relieved that they don't have to! Quote
sunnyday Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Really sorry to hear that you didn't get what you wanted from your SEF training - have to say I found ours (Kent) quite useful. Mind you still haven't started the blessed thing! Sunnyday Quote
Cait Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 HAHA - was just about to ask if you'd done it then! You'll have forgotten it all and won't be able to understand your notes if you leave it much longer! Quote
Guest Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Well I'm going to join you Easter holiday SEF ers. i bet we wont get much done. i expect to be on the forum shouting and screaming along with the rest of you. That is unless the magical fairies come and do it all for me while i'm asleep one night. NOT! Quote
velvet Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I didn't even know there was any training for it, or is it not availble to childminders? Does anyone know? Quote
sunnyday Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 HAHA - was just about to ask if you'd done it then! You'll have forgotten it all and won't be able to understand your notes if you leave it much longer! Oh don't!!! Sunnyday Quote
sunnyday Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I didn't even know there was any training for it, or is it not availble to childminders? Does anyone know? You would think so wouldn't you - contact ASK (you are Kent aren't you - or did I dream that?) Sunnyday Quote
sunnyday Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Bromley Is this any help for you velvet? Cait - is there anything you don't know!?! Just had a look at that site - just because I could! Sure that will be really helpful to Velvet - gold star for you then! Sunnyday Quote
