About this event

WCF Educational Psychology service are offering professional group supervision sessions for school-based DSLs, delivered virtually via MS Teams, with 6 sessions in total one each half term.

What is group supervision?
Group supervision sessions provide support, guidance and the opportunity for reflection within your professional role as a DSL. Supervision with an educational psychologist offers a space for targeted reflection and support processing work-based situations and events. It offers the opportunity to de-brief and think constructively about different areas of the role and using group process facilitation, it supports the attendees to develop solutions and actions that can be applied to specific casework.

Supervision supports the development of effective practice, personal self-growth and professional development in the workplace.

Audience - Teachers and Teaching Assistants in Nursery and Reception

Focus: - Inspiring language development in every child through role-play

Course information
Role play allows children to explore and create new and exciting worlds. The possibilities of children’s role play can be endless and can also be a very powerful tool for learning new vocabulary, as children take on roles/characters, act out various scenarios and stories, and solve problems using language and movement.

Children are amazing at picking up words and phrases we use or that they have heard through teachers, friends, and other adults. Role play helps them to understand the power of language and how to use these words in various scenarios as well as encouraging them to listen to what is being said.
