Peer Observation
Peer observations in Early Years play a crucial role in fostering professional growth and enhancing the quality of early childhood education. These observations involve educators within the same educational setting, such as preschools or nurseries, observing each other’s practices and interactions with young learners. This collaborative approach provides a platform for continuous improvement, reflective learning, and the sharing of best practices. Early Years practitioners can gain valuable insights, fresh perspectives, and constructive feedback from their peers, ultimately benefiting both the educators and the children they care for and educate. In this SWAY, we will introduce the breadth of this quality improvement practice and signpost you to supportive training for your whole team.
