Childcare workers are expected to update their practice through training and study in order to improve their performance. In order to improve, childcare workers must identify their existing skills and strengths as well as areas for development. To do this, they must look back at their performance and reflect on their practice. They need to evaluate what they do - what they do well, why and how they do this well, what they do not do as well and how to improve.
Continuing professional development (CPD) is a means of planning in order to improve knowledge and skills throughout your career to motivate and develop good practice and deliver good quality services. CPD enables childcare workers to take action in order to develop the knowledge, skills and personal characteristics required to fulfil their professional duties and responsibilities.
The CPD process helps childcare workers to manage their own development continuously. It helps them to record, review and reflect on their learning. CPD is not a box-ticking document to record training that has been completed but a range of different types of learning experiences. Examples include on-the-job development, training and formal qualifications, as well as informal learning and experiential learning. CPD can also involve shadowing others at work, reading information in books or on websites, or talking with colleagues about how they dealt with a difficult situation. The crucial thing is to reflect on learning and think about how it will affect a post or role in the future.
Continuing professional development (CPD) is important because it helps childcare workers to:
Disgwylir i gweithwyr gofal plant y blynyddoedd cynnar a gofal plant ddiweddaru eu harferion drwy hyfforddiant ac astudiaeth er mwyn gwella eu perfformiad. Er mwyn gallu gwella, mae'n rhaid i gweithwyr gofal plant nodi eu sgiliau a'u cryfderau presennol a'r meysydd i'w datblygu. Er mwyn gwneud hyn mae'n rhaid iddyn nhw edrych yn ôl ar eu perfformiad ac adlewyrchu ar eu harferion gwaith. Mae angen gwerthuso'r hyn maen nhw’n ei wneud - beth maen nhw’n ei wneud yn dda, pam a sut y maen nhw’n eu gwneud yn dda, beth nad ydyn nhw yn ei wneud cystal a sut y gellir gwella.
Datblygiad proffesiynol parhaus (DPP) yw ffordd o gynllunio er mwyn gwella gwybodaeth a sgiliau drwy gydol gyrfa i ysgogi a datblygu arfer da a darparu gwasanaethau o ansawdd da. Mae DPP yn galluogi gweithwyr gofal plant i gymryd camau er mwyn datblygu’r wybodaeth, y sgiliau a’r nodweddion personol y mae eu hangen arnyn nhw i gyflawni eu cyfrifoldebau a’u dyletswyddau proffesiynol.
Mae’r broses DPP yn helpu gweithwyr gofal plant i reoli eu datblygiad eu hunain yn barhaus. Mae’n helpu nhw i gofnodi’r hyn y maen nhw’n ei ddysgu, ei adolygu a myfyrio arno. Nid dogfen blychau ticio sy’n cofnodi’r hyfforddiant mae rhywun wedi’i gwblhau yw DPP ond gwahanol fathau o brofiadau dysgu. Mae datblygiad mewn swydd, hyfforddiant a chymwysterau ffurfiol, yn ogystal â dysgu anffurfiol a dysgu trwy brofiad yn enghreifftiau o hyn. Gall DPP hefyd gynnwys rhywfaint o waith cysgodi eraill wrth eu gwaith, darllen gwybodaeth mewn llyfr neu ar wefan, neu siarad â chydweithwyr am y ffordd y gwnaethant ymdrin â sefyllfa anodd. Y peth allweddol yw myfyrio ar y dysgu a meddwl am sut y bydd yn effeithio ar swydd neu rôl yn y dyfodol.
Mae datblygiad proffesiynol parhaus (DPP) yn bwysig am ei fod yn helpu gweithwyr gofal plant i:
