bubblejack Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 I have the opportunity of doing this. Is it interesting. I don't mind if its hard work but I need to know if it's enjoyable and the children/staff will benefit.
Marion Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Have tried it with junior children and they found it difficult we based it roughly on the story grandma's quilt dont think I'd try it with my present class
bubblejack Posted March 9, 2006 Author Posted March 9, 2006 Should have explained it better. It is a Quality Assurance Scheme.
Guest Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 I have just done the training to be a quilt consultant and feel that the scheme is an excellent way of building the team and moving forwards and developing good practise. We are looking to do it our FS setting. I know an under 5 centre and a school setting that are already doing it and they were very positive about it. I would say go for it! Good luck.
Guest Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Am in the middle of Kitemark in Suffolk. Hard work and takes a lot of time but it is worthwhile. Certainly makes you look at your setting and all you offer and how. But you need time
Guest Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 I'm doing kitemark in Kent, yes timeconsuming, especially when involving ALL staff in reflective practice, well worth it though. It's really made me get prepared for ofsted bexause I now have a building set of action plans, and if you have an action plan ofsted can't pull you down on these areas. Mind you need the time to carry them out now..... seriuosly, it also motivates because it is about what we do, what we do well, how to improve on that, it's not about what we don't or should be doing. added bonus it was free and the kitemark team put on great "relevant" training to support us through the modules.
