St Edmund's Nursery School

As part of our programme of inspiring speakers for the Leaders and Emerging Leaders Network, we are offering a series of ‘Meet the Author’ sessions with members of the Pen Green Schema Group, the people responsible for writing Schemas in the Early Years: Exploring beneath the surface through observation and dialogue in 2023.

Our first session is with Dr Cath Arnold. This introductory session will focus on how the group started (their inspiration), how the book came about, and on Chapter 5 ‘Schemas and Metaphor’. If you are successful in applying for a place you will receive a copy of Schemas in the Early Years. Sign-ups are for the entire series of sessions, and if you sign up you will be expected to:

• Read the chapter that is to be the focus of the session before attending
• Apply your learning in your setting
• Attend every session – though settings may want a different senior practitioner from their team to attend each session

We are able to offer a limited number of places, so we are inviting applications to be made before the 31st May to ensure your setting has your copy of the book before the first session.
