PEAL
- Parents, Early Years and Learning: Engaging Parents as Partners
in Their Children’s Early Learning |
|
| The principle of working to involve parents in their children’s early learning is now firmly established within national policy for the early years. | |
| Parents are a child's first, and most enduring, educators. Supporting their engagement in their children's learning is an effective way to make a difference to children's lives and outcomes. | |
| 'What parents do is more important than who parents are' | |
| 'Parents who create high quality home learning environments engage in activities regularly that stretch a child’s mind. The early home learning environment gives children an advantage in both social and intellectual development' Sylva and others 2004 | |
| PEAL training supports settings to meet the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage to work in partnership with parents to enhance children’s learning and development. The training and resource materials are based on the key elements of the PEAL model; authentic relationships, communication and partnership. The training is aimed at all those working with young children, in group or home based settings, and is relevant for practitioners, managers and advisory staff across sectors. | |
| More information and examples of practice and other materials included in the training resource packs can be found on the PEAL website, www.peal.org.uk |
Prevention
Action |
|
| Prevention Action is a new online news resource, which provides the latest information on prevention and early intervention relating to children's health and development. It reports in an accessible way the latest results of prevention science and reports on policies, programmes and practices that have sought to act on the results of good science. | |
| The site was launched informally in July 2007 and has steadily gathered a regular readership. The site can be viewed at www.preventionaction.org. | |
| Prevention Action is pleased to be sponsoring and reporting on this year's Sieff conference. The website will be on display throughout the conference. |
Norman
Woodhouse |
|
| The Trustees would like to mark the retirement of Norman Woodhouse after eight years of service to the Foundation. During this time Norman has been responsible for the Foundation's relations with government and the media as our communications' consultant. Much more than this he worked tirelessly with Elizabeth Haslam on our special projects initiatives. His efforts above and beyond the call of his duties undoubtedly produced results and benefits to the lives of individual young persons, which would not have arisen without his dedication. We extend our thanks to him and wish him great happiness in his retirement. |
