There are many routes into the early years, but not all of these routes are originally planned into long term careers. Michelle Moore, manager at Little Angels Day Nursery and Prep School, Highbury, tells us about her journey. #EYBLUK #EYMatters #EYTalking #TeamEarlyChildhood #KEYU #EYShare #EYTagteam #EduChat #EYFS #EYSharing #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment #EDChat #EarlyEd #EYFS #TeamEC

It's Teacher Appreciation Week in America, and while we love the catered lunches, school swag, and handwritten notes, let's take a moment to appreciate teachers in a more substantial way. Here are three ways we can show our appreciation: 1. Adequately pay teachers for the enormous time they spend on the job, both in and out of the classroom. 2. Provide intentional, high-quality professional development opportunities that help teachers become even better at what they do. 3. Create a school environment that teachers love to work in. What else can we do to show our appreciation for teachers this week (and always)? Let us know in the comments. #TeacherAppreciationWeek #ThankATeacher

Expressing genuine gratitude spreads positivity not only for those receiving the gratitude, but for those giving it. Last year I started a "Preceptor Shout Out" program, where we invite students to recognize a preceptor who made a positive difference in their training experience. I have the privilege of creating a graphic and contacting the preceptor to share the words of recognition. The responses that I get back are so uplifting and confirm that sometimes a little word of thanks can go a long way. If you are working with partner organizations, consider creating a mechanism to recognize those partners. This could also work internally, too! https://lnkd.in/eHbGxDde

Is this really the case for all children? Chloe Webster, early years practitioner and writer, explores this and other questions about the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on children in the early years. #EYFS #TeamEC
