Professional conversations are designed to help an early years professional to review, reflect on and develop their professional practice.
Today, we’ve published a new tool, ‘Professional Development Conversations Cycle’ to support our ‘Guide to Effective Professional Development in the Early Years’.
This practical tool gives you a structure for an ongoing cycle of professional conversations.
The tool includes a set of prompts designed to support professional conversations.
Each conversation in the cycle is based on evidence around professional development and prompts activities such as: planning, reflection, goal setting, building knowledge, developing and embedding practice change, and reviewing and sharing success.
