In-career development programme for staff and management of Traveller Pre-schools

Description:

The aim of the pilot project was to enhance the experiences of children and personnel in Traveller Pre-schools. In this context, the objectives were as follows: To enable all personnel to engage in professional development that was nationally accredited; To give a voice to children and parents in the context of participating in the pre-schools; To develop age-appropriate practice (curriculum and pedagogy) in Traveller Pre-schools; To promote a network with other personnel in early years settings and use the developed network as a possible model for encouraging networking among early years practitioners; To develop the capacity of the management committees to manage pre-schools as effectively as possible; To provide rigorous ongoing evaluation that could act as a model of in-career development in this area for future reference. The training was to be delivered, at least in part, to both staff and management of the Traveller Pre-schools. It was decided that the staff component would include all staff (teachers and childcare assistants), and that the management group would receive training during the first and last weekend of the six scheduled sessions.
