Val and I are presenting a paper in Glasgow in April 2012; two parts of our central thinking will be that, firstly, from interviews and conversations with a range of practitioners both past, present and to-be, we see an expressed priority in practical and realistic pragmatism in negotiating careers. This is set against selected pathways which are determined by higher ideals and social forces, like gender oppression...
Secondly, listening to more seasoned respondents, there is some evidence of regret for times past notably in the way qualifications are sought and why; their status and relevance.
Our Question is: “what are the day-to-day lived experiences of being an early years worker?”
Background
Our aims include collecting the views, opinions and thoughts of early years practitioners…housing peoples’ stories
In a busy world, one value of oral history (recollections from today and in the past) is that if we don’t capture something in these times of change, it will be lost!
