Guest Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hi all, Can anyone help me? As part of my Foundation Degree in Early Years we have to compare job descriptions for people assoicated/working in Early years settings. The setting in which I work has no job descriptions for: SENCO Foundation Stage Co-ordinator Key Stage One Co-ordinator Foundation Teacher. I would be so grateful. Thanks Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
