425 - provide leadership in your area of responsibility?
These questions are personal to you within your setting.
12 is asking you the legal, regulatory and ethical requirements in the sector - sp what is your area of responsibilty?
Are you a team leader? in charge of the baby unit? a supervisor? or a manager?
So what are the legal requirements - health, safety, training, equality, supervision etc etc?
Then look at the statutory requirements and your policies and procedures.
13. What are your own values? what motivates you? and your emotion? - do you like manners? do you respect others? motivates you? what motivates you to get up/go to work/have ideas/to work with children?
are you very emotional? or are you cool headed? Are you able to adapt in different circumstances?
14. What are your strengths and limitations?
Do you feel comfortable and at ease when playing with children, but slightly out of your depth when parents are questioning you? (just suggestions).
15. What are the strengths, limitations and potential of people you work with?
Who do you work with?
Is someone fantastic at this or that? What are their limitations? (weakness). Do they remain quiet in meetings and not contribute?
Would training/coaching etc bring out any potential that you may feel they have if they were more confident?
16. Your role - responsibility and level of power?
What is your responsibility?
Are you in charge of a room/children/staff/keyworker etc - what is expected of you?
Your power - are you in charge of others/areas (senco/first aid etc) or just responsible for yourself?
17. vision & objectives of the organisation?
vision/dream/goal -your vision maybe to have your own building one day. Your objectives - what are you aiming to provide? to give children the best care and education? you might want to say to help children learn and become independent? The answer will differ for different settings. Your settings vision may be differetn from the setting down the road.
18. Vision, objectives, culture and operational plans for area of your responsibility
same question, but it's now asking you instead of the setting.
So what's your vision, to one day do....., to become...., to provide......
what do you set out to do? daily......short term..long term.....etc.
culture - what working conditions do you and colleagues create for the children? good? bad? indifferent? and how are they achieved?
operational plans - how do you know what you are doing?
do you have meetings, include colleagues, write it up, observe, evaluate etc, be flexible, train etc - all depending on your area of responsibility.
Perhaps you are in charge of safety including making sure that everyone is trained up. the medical box is a lockable one, fully stocked with the correct requirements, you check the medical records etc etc whatever you do, what are your operational plans - how do you do it? and how do you go about it?
Remember to answer these as if you are in charge as the unit is asking you about your leadership skills within your role - so if you are just in charge of your coffee cup it will be a very different answer than if you are in charge of people.
I hope this helps you.
