Guest Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 Hi ya I have a presentation for a job interview next week. I have to give a presentation on "Consistency, continunity, progression and a relevent curriculum are essential for high attainment and good behaviour" COR! I can think of lots of things but just don't know what to cover in 10 mins. The job is for foundation stage leader ( which would include year 1) Can someone shed any light
Guest Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 Well done on getting an interview ... wow that is a presentation and a half ! I was thinking they perhaps they really want you to talk about what high quality provision is from Nursery to Reception to Year 1 and you could perhaps address those areas (consistency etc.) through some specified themes which you identify as being important. Some ideas for themes could be : e.g. 1) RELATIONSHIPS (staff with each other, with children, with families) promoting consistency, continuity, progression, relevant curriculum leading to high attainment and good behaviour (What this looks like ?) 2) ENVIRONMENT (how its features promote consistency, continuity etc.) 3) PLANNING A CREATIVE CURRICULUM (how you can achieve consistency...etc.) 4) TRANSITION (how you can achieve consistency etc.) I think you need to have good, clear points well illustrated with photos etc. for a brief presentation to show you can initiate change and inspire others. Good luck Hope something is useful for you here ! Galleon
Helen Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 That is a fantastic answer, Galleon I'd just add a bit about continuity and progression being achieved through careful and regular observations of the children, together with a recording system that all adults connected to the child can contribute to.
Guest Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Thank you very much! it does seem like a hugh topic for ten minutes and I don't want them all to fall asleep on me while I go on and on
