Briefing Session: Driving Progress in Early Years Through Powerful Targets
*This briefing was previously titled: Target Setting for Early Years Personal Education Plans (PEPs)
Birmingham City Council Early Years & Childcare Service and Birmingham Virtual School have partnered to deliver a briefing to support practitioners in setting ambitious, clear and purposeful targets for all children, with a particular focus on Birmingham’s children in care.
The session will:
Develop your understanding of the experiences of children who become looked after, and the important role early years practitioners play in promoting their progress, achievement and overall development
Explore practical approaches to setting ambitious and meaningful targets that support children to make the best possible progress from their starting points
Provide an opportunity to meet with a Birmingham Virtual School Early Years Advisor and gain insight into their role in supporting children in care
Support practitioners in meeting aspects of the requirements for completing children’s electronic Personal Education Plans (ePEPs)
This session is not a replacement for Birmingham Virtual School ePEP training but is designed to complement understanding.
