Moorside Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Hi All I was just wondering if anyone on here was an SLE for early years. I am interested to know how it is working for you? Thanks J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildflowers Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I'm in early years and have never heard of it - I'm even looking for a definition on-line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildflowers Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Early years in schools and in pre-schools/nurseries confused me... http://www.education.gov.uk/nationalcollege/index/support-for-schools/specialist-leaders-of-education-programme.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catma Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) We have them in our group of schools that make up our Teaching Alliance, but we do have Teaching School status as an LA. They will work in parallel to the LA team (if we keep our jobs that is.) They will be at any phase within the schools so not jsut to do with Early Years but right through all key stages.

Rufus Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I am an early years SLE. I have just been appointed. I was previously an AST and have been doing this role even though, technically they no longer exist. I don't think my role will be much different, it's just a different title!

Guest Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I applied for early years SLE post last year but didn't get it as they said I had 'no emotional intelligence', despite the fact I'd been an EYC for the previous 4 years....go figure. Lots of politics involved. However the SLE role is pretty much identical to AST role, except you don't get paid for it like ASTs do, instead the extra cash goes to your school for releasing you from your teaching commitments.
