Target Audience
Early Years Practitioners and Teachers working in the foundation stage
Course Aims
- Increase knowledge and understanding of how communication and attachment relationships develop from birth
- Show how the adult can use specific interaction strategies to create a language rich environment for all children
This informative, interactive course is covers:
Positive Interaction -
It’s all about you - Developing a shared understanding of why the positive interactions a child experiences from birth play such an important role in their future as well as taking a moment to reflect on the impact of not having enough positive interactions.
Positive interaction strategies in practice - What are the PI strategies, and can we identify them being used?
Can we spot missed opportunities?
It’s not all talk - Understanding communication development as a pyramid of skills.
Being a clear model - Through analysing more video footage, practitioners will be supported to look again at key positive interaction strategies in more detail and identify the role of the adult in developing communication, language and literacy in the early years.
Time to reflect
Participants will have an opportunity to reflect and identify a key area for developing positive interactions in their own practice.
