The programme, funded by the Department of Education and delivered by Education Development Trust with our key subject specialist partners, was aimed at improving practitioners’understanding and skills in supporting the development of the most disadvantaged children between the ages of 2 and 4 years old in England.  \nThe original programme was delivered in 50 of the most disadvantaged Local Authority (LA) areas in England (based on free school meal eligibility and EYFSP outcomes data), using a cascade model of delivery. Early Years Practitioners (EYPs) underwent the training first and were provided with additional training to become Champions, who would in turn train peers in their LA area. The first phase commenced in June 2019 but in response to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, a new phase of the programme was commissioned to start in September 2021. As lead contractor, Education Development Trust worked with expert contributors to provide a broad curriculum-Elklan Training Ltd for the speech, language and communication content as well as the cohort of Programme Trainers; the Anna Freud Centre for the PSED content and early years Maths experts Dr Cath Gripton and Dr Sue Gifford for the Early Maths content.  \nIntroduction (2)  \nPhase two of the programme utilised a direct delivery model; a mix of self-guided eLearning and webinars hosted by professional tutors. 51 new Local Authority areas took part in the programme with EYPs completing the programme between January and July 2022. During their time on the programme EYPs were asked to contribute to the programme evaluation and this report highlights the methodology used and the highlights of the findings – it clearly demonstrates the outcomes and impact that was created during what was a relatively short intervention.  \nThis evaluation was commissioned by Education Development Trust as part of our commitment to evidencing the Impact of our programmes on our beneficiaries. However, both EYPDP Phase 1 and 3 will be subject to an external analysis commissioned by the Department for Education.  \nWe thank you for taking the time to read this highlight report, should you have any questions please do  \ncontact the Early Years team at [earlyyearspdp@edt.org](earlyyearspdp@edt.org)  \nMethodology of the evaluation  \n> A baseline survey to determine how practitioners perceived their knowledge and understanding of Speech, Language and Communication (SLC), Early Mathematics (EM) and Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED) at the start of the programme  \n> A short survey at the end of SLC to determine confidence and knowledge gained> A short survey at the end of EM to determine confidence and knowledge gained> A short survey at the end of PSED to determine confidence and knowledge gained> An endline survey to determine overall perceived impact.  \nAll surveys were completed by a total of 1,308 participants who completed the course in full. This report brings together the analysis from these five surveys from all participants who completed the programme .  \nThe survey findings were reviewed at each stage . If practitioners provided feedback that either themselves, or a colleague in their setting, was struggling, the programme team were alerted for appropriate support to be provided to the practitioner .  \nAbout the cohort  \nThecohortwasgeographicallyspread across Englandandthe IsleofWight, and mostparticipantswerefemale  \n30%  \n25%  \n20%  \n15%  \n10%  \n5%  \n0%  \n98% of those who completed the  \ncourse were female  \nThe majorityofpractitionerswerequalifiedto Level 3 and had at least ten years’ experience asanEarlyYears Practitioner  \nYears' experience (N=1302)  \n1 to 4  \nyears' experience 14%  \n 5 toyear9s' experience  22%  \n 10 to 1years'5experience  25%  \nMore than 15  \nyears' experie","cbCaiu4ynkPBwreF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu4ynkPBwreF","pdf",418694,31,"English","# Introduction\n## Phase and delivery overview\n# Methodology of the evaluation\n## Baseline and follow-up surveys\n# About the cohort\n## Demographics, qualifications, and reasons for participation\n# Participation by region","[{\"question\":\"What was the goal of EYPDP Phase two (Programme 2)?\",\"answer\":\"It aimed to strengthen practitioners’ understanding and skills for supporting the development of the most disadvantaged children aged 2–4 in England.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the evaluation surveys designed?\",\"answer\":\"The evaluation used a baseline survey, short end-of-module surveys for SLC, Early Mathematics, and PSED, and an endline survey to assess overall perceived impact.\"},{\"question\":\"Who participated and how many completed the programme?\",\"answer\":\"A total of 1,308 participants completed the course in full and completed the surveys included in the analysis.\"}]","Early Years Professional Development Programme 2 - Evaluation findings - Highlights of methodology and impact | PDF",1792049998,78]
