Exciting new PEEP developments
PEEP is delighted to announce the launch of an autumn of exciting new training courses and accreditation opportunities for early years’ professionals.
One of the most welcome changes for practitioners in terms of offering continued professional development is to our two-day PEEP for Practitioner training course. From September 2009, this training will include the option for practitioners to gain a Level 3 City & Guilds’ unit under the Award in Work with Parents.
Don’t forget, our PEEP for Practitioners’ Extended course is still running where practitioners can achieve accreditation linking with Oxford Brookes University at undergraduate or Masters’ level.
We are also pleased to announce the launch of two new courses from September 2009.
The Introduction to PEEP Practice Part I course is ideal for PEEP volunteers or assistants in groups.
The one-day course will give an introduction to PEEP Learning Together, including its principles, curriculum, circle time and ORIM, will explore heuristic play and the use of treasure baskets, discuss challenging situations, will outline core activities in PEEP Learning Together group work and explore the role assistants/volunteers play.
We are also pioneering a one-day course for those practitioners wanting to support parents with PEEP OCN accreditation. The course is suitable for practitioners already running OCN courses or those wanting to do so. It will also demystify aspects of internal verification.
For those wanting to know more about any of the above, please feel free to e-mail Professional Development Manager, Jayne Lacny, on jayne.lacny@peep.org.uk or phone 01865 397979.
