Encourage, Nourish and Grow:  Supporting our youngest learners to thrive in nursery and school

We warmly invite you to join us for a day of early years focused professional learning on Friday 6^th November, 9am-4pm, at the Glasgow Radisson Blu.

The day will highlight effective methods of supporting our youngest children holistically, developing understanding to support their communication and emotional needs, and give you an opportunity to consider the best ways for teachers and other education professionals to encourage, nourish and help them grow, in order that they go on to thrive in learning and in life. 

What will the day look like?

A series of interactive workshops facilitated from a range of perspectives will equip participants with practical tools to take back to their settings, including:

• Exploring the roots of distressed behaviour, from an educational psychology perspective.
• Supporting a communication rich environment, from a speech and language therapy perspective.
• The principles and practice of emotion coaching, from a counselling perspective.

Throughout the day, there will be space and time for professional dialogue, exploration of learning strategies and sharing experiences.

Who will benefit from participating?

EIS members who are early years teachers, other early learning educators, graduates, and additionally, primary infant teachers may find the day of interest.

Please book your place by Friday 30th October at 12pm using the online booking form.
