The EYPS Handbook

The EYPS Handbook is the essential resource you need to support and guide you step-by-step through your training to achieve Early Years Professional Status.

Taking a standard-by-standard approach, the text uses a balance of leadership and personal practice examples to inform and guide you through your training, whichever pathway you are on.

The authors examine each of the 39 standards in turn, deconstructing their meaning and considering the best approach to evidence them.

Key features:

• Each standard is unpicked, with difficult terminology explained and examples given of how the standard might translate into practice.

• Interactive Reflection Points within chapters allow you to reflect on and improve your own practice

• Provides a wealth of leadership and personal practice examples

The book will support candidates undertaking all four pathways

      Graduate Practitioner Pathway

      Undergraduate Practitioner Pathway

      Graduate Entry Pathway

      Undergraduate Entry Pathway

in examining early years practice and support them in collating evidence for the EYPS assessment process.
