- What can you teach?
Here are some key aspects to consider when deciding if employment-based early years teacher training is right for you.
Employment-based training allows you to stay in your current position of employment while you train, making it a practical option offering financial stability. Additionally, the employer incentive offered by the DfE can support your setting to provide cover when you are training. Balancing your role as a staff member with your online training commitments alongside your role in a nursery can still be challenging; strong time-management skills are essential.
If you prefer learning by doing, this route offers valuable experience from day one. You’ll apply theoretical knowledge gained in your training directly in a practical setting, giving you a real-world understanding of child development and education techniques.
Young children learn at different paces and often express themselves unpredictably. Early years teachers must demonstrate patience, empathy, and adaptability in their approach. Being able to adjust your teaching style to meet diverse needs is essential.
Building relationships with children, parents, and colleagues is an essential skill for an Early Years teacher. Clear communication helps you explain learning objectives, offer constructive feedback, and foster collaboration within your school community. This will also help you to share your knowledge with colleagues, elevating leadership standards within your setting.
Teaching in Early Years can be both physically and emotionally demanding. Managing classroom behaviour, resolving conflicts, and handling challenging situations require resilience. Being able to maintain composure and positivity is essential for an early years teacher; these areas are addressed throughout e-Qualitas’ EYITT curriculum.
Employment-based training routes require dedication to both your day-to-day work and ongoing study. If you’re committed to learning alongside working, employment-based EYITT offers many opportunities for growth and satisfaction.
If you align with these qualities, pursuing employment-based early years teacher training could be a great fit for you. eQ’s program combines practical application of training with online learning and reflection, equipping you with the skills to help you transform education for children you work with.
