Module 6: Practical Implementation and Case Studies


Introduction

Welcome to Module 6 of our course on Understanding the New EYFS 2023 Framework: Changes and Objectives. In this module, we will apply the knowledge gained so far to create an action plan for implementing the EYFS 2023 changes in your setting. We will also analyze case studies to understand the real-world implications of the new framework.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Apply the knowledge gained to create an action plan for implementing the EYFS 2023 changes in your setting.
  2. Analyze case studies to understand the real-world implications of the new framework.
  3. Develop problem-solving skills for overcoming challenges in implementing the new EYFS 2023 framework.

Section 1: Creating an Action Plan

Learning Objective: Apply the knowledge gained to create an action plan for implementing the EYFS 2023 changes in your setting.

Steps for Implementation

  1. Gap Analysis: Identify the gaps between current practices and the new EYFS 2023 requirements.
  2. Resource Allocation: Determine the resources needed for implementation, including staff training, materials, and time.
  3. Timeline: Create a realistic timeline for implementing the changes.
  4. Monitoring and Evaluation: Establish metrics and methods for evaluating the effectiveness of the implementation.

Sample Action Plan

A sample action plan template will be provided to guide you in creating your own.


Section 2: Case Studies

Learning Objective: Analyze case studies to understand the real-world implications of the new framework.

Case Study 1: Implementing New Learning and Development Areas

  • Challenges faced and solutions implemented in adapting to the new Learning and Development Areas.
