PEEP Learning Together Programme is an evidence based early learning intervention designed to improve the life chances of young children by raising attainment. It was included as a case study in the Scottish Government\u2019s report \u2018Review of Family learning Supporting Excellence and Equity\u2019 (2016) as an effective intervention. <\/span><\/p>\n

PEEP was identified by the\u00a0Educational Psychology Service as a strong evidence based programme which contributes to securing better outcomes for young children through increased parental engagement in their child\u2019s learning. The Educational Psychology Service currently\u00a0leads on the implementation of PEEP in Stirling, working collaboratively with early years establishments and partners. A number of practitioners have been trained to deliver PEEP approaches across Stirling Council. <\/span><\/p>\n

2018 update<\/strong><\/p>\n

Around 40 practitioners across\u00a0Stirling\u00a0have been trained in the PEEP Learning Together programme and are now able to facilitate PEEP groups. \u00a0They include family support workers in Health and Education, Early Years\u2019 Educators from nurseries, as well as practitioners from Homestart and the Learning & Employability team. During the programme, practitioners and parents \/carers (along with their children)\u00a0come together in groups to share ideas about what they can do at home to support their child\u2019s early learning and development through everyday learning opportunities such as sharing stories, rhymes, singing and conversations. A number of groups have been run across Stirling and the materials have also been used to support individual families with early learning in their homes. Practitioners are supported by termly meetings, a closed Facebook group and a LA steering group.<\/p>\n

3 practitioners have submitted City and Guilds portfolios about their work with PEEP with 2 having been notified of successful completion of their award so far. A further 15 practitioners have registered for the award.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We are delighted with how well PEEP groups are being received and that parents are enjoying them, saying \u2018it is always fun and there are always new things to learn\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Evaluations show that following attendance at a PEEP group, 80% of parents felt \u201cvery confident\u201d in helping with their children\u2019s learning and development, whereas prior to attendance only 31% of parents rated themselves as \u201cvery confident\u201d. Similarly, parents reported an increased frequency in time spent engaging in reading & sharing books, singing songs & rhymes, and letter and number play with their child \u2013 over 92% reporting doing so \u2018most days\u2019. Parents also said that they were doing more mark marking activities than before – up from 38% to 69% on \u00a0\u2018most days\u2019. Some parents reported that prior to PEEP they were only reading books and mark making with their child once or twice a month and never singing songs and rhymes.<\/p>\n

After PEEP the majority said they were doing so most days:<\/p>\n

\u2018I have always sung and read stories but I now know more about how these help my child learn. PEEP helped me to realise how learning fits into everyday life and activities. It helped me see how and where he may need more support\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

We are planning to get 5 practitioners trained in the PEEP Progression Pathways Programme in the autumn to enable them to support parents to gain qualification units based on their involvement in the PEEP Learning Together programme. This programme offers formally recognised units which are assessed by portfolio and allow parents to achieve SCQF units at levels 3, 4 or 5. This work is intended to support parents to gain early years\u2019 qualifications.<\/p>\n

If parents \/ carers are interested in joining a PEEP group then have a chat with your child\u2019s nursery to see if a group is running in your area.<\/p>\n
