About this event

Wellbeing for Education Return Covid-19: Supporting Resilience and Wellbeing of Students and Staff is being delivered virtually.

The training is free due to Worcestershire Children First securing a DfE funding grant

Session 1: we will be exploring the themes of resilience and wellbeing in order to create a shared understanding of: vocabulary and research around resilience and wellbeing; how the pandemic has impacted on the development of resilience and wellbeing; biological responses to stress and how the brain influences learning and behaviour; and different ways to promote resilience and wellbeing in schools following the pandemic.

Session 2: will have a more practical focus, exploring strategies that schools can employ to assess and promote resilience and wellbeing on an individual, group and whole-school level. In this session we will also outline local and national support services and resources which schools can access to enable them to foster resilience and wellbeing well into the future.

Trainers: David Scott and Catherine Byng

Audience – Teaching Assistants in Early Years

Focus: - ensuring we have a bank of play strategies to support all children in their play in your role as a play partner and beyond!

Course information
Isn’t play a lovely four-letter word, and a very important one when you are a young child. It sounds easy, but to get it right, it can be quite a challenge. We need to be able to understand our role in supporting children’s play in our everyday provision and moving it forward according to their skills and knowledge and their approach to learning at that time. We don’t want children to ‘just play’ do we?
Adults play an important role in child-initiated play. They provide a safe environment for the child to explore and test out their ideas – and everyone needs to know and understand the great importance of a play-based approach to learning in order for the children to learn.

About this event

If developing self-regulating, independent learners is your goal, then this workshop is a must!

With the challenges of catch up and loss of learning, developing pupils’ ability to plan, monitor and evaluate their own learning is key. Metacognition is a hot topic and of much interest to teachers in our schools, but how do we implement it into our classroom/school? This session will help teachers to unpick 'Metacognition' and what is means to develop pupils’ metacognitive knowledge and behaviours. Colleagues will consider and review a range of practical strategies and activities that can be implemented in the classroom to promote and support pupils' learning

About this event

Rich opportunities for reading and writing from a text to support end of year assessment – for different year groups (each year group is a separate course to book)

We know that from previous lockdowns, teachers articulated that the biggest gap in learning that most children experienced, on their return to school, was ‘writing’.

These sessions will support teachers to develop sequences of learning which will quickly and effectively generate lots of writing opportunities in a short space of time. Each session will give delegates a choice of quality texts, a theme and an outline of a sequence which can be adapted to the needs of their own class.
