Guest Wolfie Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) I've just finished watching a DVD that landed on my desk, produced by the CWDC in partnership with the National College for School Leadership. It includes footage from a focus group set up to discuss the relationship between EYPS and NPQICL and how the two roles and sets of skills are similar/different. It introduces the concept/process of Appreciative Inquiry as a tool for enabling practitioners to reflect on their current practice, identify what works well and design ways in which to develop those aspects of their practice in order to improve outcomes for the children and their families more effectively. It's a very interesting "watch" and I'm assuming that the DVD has been sent out to all Children's Centres. I've just checked the CWDC website and can't find a reference to the DVD on there but I'm sure that if you contact them, they'll point you in the right direction! Edited August 11, 2009 by Wolfie

Guest Wolfie Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 It's just called "Developing Leadership in Children's Centres" and as far as I could see, there was no reference number. I've passed it onto a colleague now but I'll check again tomorrow and let you know if I find any extra information.
Guest Wolfie Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 I am - but not until September 2010....I missed the application deadline this year because I didn't realise that there was one! How about you?
Guest Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 I received the dvd but not had chance to do it and will be doing the NPQICL this September Paula
Guest Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Whereabouts are you Paula? I am in Sefton, so will be either going to Manchester or St Helens Paula
Guest Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Haven't received a copy of this yet but I am going to phone both the NCSL and CWDC to find out how I can get hold of it Thanks for this Nikki ps I have just finished my NPQICL and loved nearly every minute of it
Guest Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Aha! Not West Mids then! Sorry no, but i am sure we can swap ideas Paula
Guest Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 What does one need to do to get the NQCPIL or whichever way around the letters go?
