This webinar will explore what is meant by the terms ‘co-regulation’ and ‘self-regulation’. It will provide an insight into how we can unravel what might be the underlying reasons for children’s dysregulated behaviour and how we can identify and meet unmet needs.
We will consider the extensive work on self-regulation by Dr Stuart Shanker from the Mehrit Centre, Ontario, Canada. This will include the 5 Domains of self-regulation and how his 5 Step approach can help us to respond to children’s dysregulation and support them to be ‘Calm, alert and ready to learn’.
With Debi Keyte-Hartland: Early Education Associate Consultant
This webinar will explore how simple resources and materials can be used in childminding contexts with mixed age groups to stimulate playful, joyful opportunities that are rich in learning. Debi’s background in the arts and creativity will enable you to look at simple, everyday materials such as torches and lamps, magazines, paper and card to consider ways of exploring these together with the ideas and curiosities that children might bring to them. With special consideration given to small spaces, mixed age groups and low budget sustainable materials this will be a session full of practical ideas supported by connections to how children learn and develop across the EYFS areas of learning (educational programmes).
Who is it for?
Childminders of all levels of experience
This webinar will explore aspects of leadership outdoors. It is primarily aimed at those who are keen to develop their outdoor area rural or urban, however large or small, be they a childminder, or a staff member in a nursery or a school. Research shows that leadership is a key factor in improving outcomes, so we need to reflect on its possibilities for our settings
outside.
The focus will be the following:
- Seeing yourself as a champion with a clear focus on what matters and makes a difference outdoors tin terms of high- quality play and learning.
- Considering how you can support and extend curriculum opportunities by starting with children’s individual interests,
risk and challenge.
- Ways to enhance wellbeing and holistic development through experiences and local connections outside.
The session will be illustrated with lots of photographic examples to give you ideas to enhance your environment.
