Updates to support materials 

We’ve updated the ‘Early Years Educator Assignment 2 Competence Observation Criteria’ document, in relation to the Activity Plan on p8. The previous version required the student to include the ‘child’s name’, whereas the new version now requests that the ‘child indicator’ be populated on the form, meaning students will add ‘Child A’ or ‘age of the child/children’ as appropriate. We’ve made this change to maintain confidentiality. There are no other changes, and this amend does not require any previous work to be repeated.  

 

Useful reminders  

  • Provider standardisation training packs must be completed prior to starting Assignment 2, and no later than 28 February 2025. These can be found in the Portal.  
  • You should use the student evidence upload checklists provided by your moderator to ensure you have the required documentation from students submitted by the agreed deadlines.  
  • You must make sure all students’ schedules of assessment are kept up to date and if there are any changes with placements, the details must be updated immediately to allow as much notice as possible to your moderator.
