Advice on leadership and mentorship
Hi I was wondering how those who have done the EYPS have demonstrated Leadership and mentorship as a childminder? We went through the standards and I was confident that I could arrange somethings that would increase my oportunity to demonstrate a couple of examples as these cover standards 7 and 8.
I also was looking into the 3 written assesments to demonstrate my practise/all the standards over the 3 different ages and was fairly confident with this - until the course leader looked at my plan and said thats great but who are you teaching? I have now realised that I have to demonstrate leadership across ALL the standards and ALL the age groups - across my whole practice so anything I do as a childminder is completely irrelevant because I am not showing 'leadership'!
I am thinking of taking on an assistant or placement student so I can highlight leadership of someone but have no idea how to go about this and is just putting more pressure on me for something that I need to deal with and take time to look into!!
Am I just panicking? Someone please help!
