10 Child Studies Unit 1: Careers working with young children Describe job roles and the skills and qualities required when working with children

What job roles are available when working with children? Nursery nurse Playgroup leader Childminder Kindergarten teacher Nursery nurse Playgroup leader Childminder Kindergarten teacher Activity: Brainstorm and A-Z of jobs working with children Note – Think outside the square

Skills and Qualities Know the difference! Skills: Things we learn throughout life and work experience Qualities: what we are good at, natural abilities, strengths

Skills required when working with children – some examples Similar to those of other job roles. Approachable – be able top relate to children, parents, carers and other professionals Communication – involvement in activities such as writing reports, notes to parents, information leaflets and posters Listening – hearing what is actually being said Able to plan ahead – prepare activities Practical skills – labelling pictures, organising materials for creative activities Similar to those of other job roles. Approachable – be able top relate to children, parents, carers and other professionals Communication – involvement in activities such as writing reports, notes to parents, information leaflets and posters Listening – hearing what is actually being said Able to plan ahead – prepare activities Practical skills – labelling pictures, organising materials for creative activities

Describe job roles and the skills and qualities required when working with children Look at the skills mind map on the next slide Working in pairs: 1.Copy the mind map onto a sheet of A3 paper 2.Give one example why a child care worker would need each skill – focus on ONE job role 3.Extend your mind map to include these examples

For example: Social skills – the childminder needs to have good social skills because they need to be able to help children mix with other children Note: If they are not good at mixing with others how can they help children to do the same? Describe job roles and the skills and qualities required when working with children

A Novice performerAn Advanced BeginnerA Capable performerA Proficient performerAn Expert performer Has little or no practical experience of the Skill Area on which to base actions. Is highly reliant on explicit ‘rules’ (e.g. instructions, processes, procedures, models), guidance and support and priorities determined by others, to guide activities. Has some practical experience of the Skill Area and is beginning to recognise patterns (e.g. routines, regular responses, links and connections) that help understanding and influence action. Is still reliant on explicit ‘rules’ and on assistance to identify priorities, but can apply these more autonomously in familiar, routine situations. Has sufficient practical experience of the Skill Area to identify patterns and organising principles and establish priorities for action. Can comfortably apply the explicit and implicit ‘rules’ associated with familiar situations. Adopts a systematic, analytical approach to tasks, especially in unfamiliar situations. Has considerable practical experience of the Skill Area in a range of contexts and is moving from reliance on externally prescribed rules to recognition of principles that guide actions. Organises knowledge and practical experience as patterns, concepts and principles, which makes it possible to assess, and respond to situations in an increasingly intuitive and flexible way. Reverts to analysis and seeks guidance when making important decisions. Has extensive practical experience of the Skill Area, with both a big picture understanding and an eye for relevant fine detail. Operates fluidly, intuitively and flexibly in highly complex situations, drawing on knowledge and practical experience organised into highly refined patterns, concepts and principles. Uses a combination of informed intuition and analysis in different situations, recognising that ‘it all depends’. Will often reconceptualise approaches and practices to produce more effective outcomes, while also recognising which rules and principles are always applicable. Table 1.
