Any ideas? Also does anyone know where I could find info about the epi project?

Thank you!!

I'm just about to get stuck into this too. My tutor went through each section and said inappropriate cirriculum could be using the wrong cirriculum according to the childs age, i.e eyfs for older children when it should be the national. It's just a suggestion and maybe worth a mention but will research more into this anyway.
good luck

Hey check the wording on this question. There is a miss print. It should not read inapropriate, this word should be erased. This was the question last year!!!! I have had mine marked now!! So is definately the case!!

Just to add a good idea, which is what was suggested by my tutor is to first make a statement on what you regard as a curriculum and go from there. You can then discuss birth to three, EYFS, Foundation stage, national curriculum. Possibly quote from EPPE. What is possitive about them, what is negative, compare them. Although eg, Birth to three is a frame work, if you regard it as a curriculum you can still discuss it. that what I did and it was fine!

The wording here is correct... it all depends on which hand book you have, 2005/6 or 2006/7

I am also on this question and it's definately: Evaluate the implications of using an inappropriate curriculum framework for children.

I would really appreciate a little help with this one, I really detest the evaluate questions and my brain goes awol...

Thanking you all in advance.

Thanks for that, I also looked at this thread, but the wording to the question is different to the question that I have.

My wording has the word innappropriate so I don't know if that thread will help, but I will have another look.

Thanks again!

Oh Sparkles, I can not believe that they wouldn't let you do observations, at the end of the day you are doing this for them and their children, so that you can better yourself and have a better understanding. How dreadful... maybe you should have made some up or borrowed someone elses children.

I got an A and 2 B's and a C for the otherunits so was gutted but I had to tell my tutor and she said I couldnt wing it as such and make it up as I had to have written permission from the parents so it really stuffed me up I ended up with an overall C grade and was gutted to sy the least

I am stuck on QuestionA. Would you consider 'every child matters' to be a curriculum framework that I can evaluate?
As I am in Wales I am unable to use EYFS etc, and my tutor advises against using Early years foundation phase as it is in Wales only!
This is my final unit, got 2 b's and an A in previous units so would love an A in this unit as I will achieve an A overall then.

You don't need Eyfs or EYFP to evaluate the every child matters agenda.

Here it is -

http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/everychildmat...s/outcomescyp/

You can look at Every Child Matters as a totally independent thing, developed by the Govt to bring children out of poverty, keep them safe and healthy, ensure they have education etc.

If anything it is more closely linked to the United Nations Rights of the Child -

http://www.unicef.org.uk/tz/rights/index.asp

ECM is pretty straightforward to evaluate - just ask yourself how you meet and exceed each of the 5 outcomes.

**Mari** · 28-07-2009, 01:18 PM

Thanks Sarah.

So would you evaluate ECM in answer to the Question A. ( Evaluate the implications of using a curriculum framework for children)

**Mari** · 28-07-2009, 08:40 PM

Do you think that they are actually asking me to evaluate a particular curriculum such as EYFP or EYFS or curriculums in general. Gosh, I'm really stuck on this one, think it's because I know that this is the answer which will give me the highest marks.

**Mari** · 29-07-2009, 10:41 PM

I have evaluated the Foundation Phase. Hope it goes ok. Submitting it tomorrow.

**brixhamrfc** · 26-01-2010, 07:30 AM

Thank you to all who posted help re DHC 5 A and B, I have struggled with these !!! Very helpful hints, thankk you......Trev

**Mari** · 22-04-2010, 09:35 PM

How did yo do? I got a B in Unit 5, so a B overall. A bit gutted as I had 79 marks, just 1 off an A! Would have had A overall! Had already submitted it previously so couldn't resubmit. A 'B' is ok though I think. Also passed my Level 4 nvq recently too.
