How will you use what you have learned today?
For reference. For practical work with families. For INSET
with other pre-school colleagues.
I will introduce the developmental journal to a few 'select' families
within Child Development centres and encourage them to work through it
with my support - a joint venture.
I can identify a child who I am working with that I could use the Journal
alongside the parents - so very useful both for ideas and identifying
areas requiring more work.
It will help me to prepare for visits to very young children It
will support me with the writing of reports afterwards. Additional
info will help to develop my knowledge and skills about developing vision.
Getting stuck - good support when things don't quite go to plan.
I will use the records with far greater background knowledge and understanding,
as well as what’s relevant for parents - step-by-step approach.
Just started working with 2 babies. Will use it to evaluate what
they 'should' be doing and as useful activities for parents
to use.
Primarily as a reference tool. I work with various children for
whom this will help.
Implement into my practice particularly when working with children in
development centres and at home.
A useful tool in working with young VI children and their families. The
Journal has lots of practical ideas.
Having more understanding of individual children's needs. Practical
ideas on how to work with child.
It's an excellent addition to material already available - lots
of questions with suggestions.

What was best about the course/event?
Information. Relaxed and efficient delivery.
Gaining a better understanding of the Journal.
Resource to take away.
Time to share experiences/ask questions - which we all agreed were around
similar experiences/issues in implementation/practical use/home visit
advice.
Well presented and prepared.
Opportunity to look at the materials as the information was being expounded.
It was very relevant to the work I do (which a lot of courses aren't!)
How it relates to my own experiences with individual children. Confirmation
of my own ideas/feelings.
Could relate to description of children/events/parents to own experience
- gave rise to questions of own - could I have tried that - will do!
What, if anything, could have been improved about the course?
Slower paced so more time allocated.
I felt parts were a bit rushed. However, as I have the Journal
I will be able to spend time myself finding it more about its contents.
Perhaps a whole day dedicated to the training to enable participants
to look in more depth at records and activity cards.
Correct mix of giving us time to look through Journal and telling us
about it.
Gaps for discussion would have been helpful.
More time required to fully take in all information received.
Maybe more 'real life' examples. (2)
More time - very interesting.
Any other comments regarding the course?
Very well presented - clear, concise information.
Thank you, Lorna.
