1 Day Course - 9:30 to 15:30

This course is an opportunity for teachers and their support staff in both nurseries, reception and mixed age classes to spend the day working together to identify effective and manageable systems for communicating with, and working as part of a team. The group will take time to share their individual strengths and own interests, as well as areas of development. This information can then be used to identify training needs. Teams can then address ways in which the skills and expertise of staff can be used to support and enhance teaching and learning within the class/setting. There will also be opportunities to share manageable systems for recording and gathering evidence, planning and assessment etc.
