To Be Two

Course Length: 2 x 3 hour sessions 

Course Leaders: EYFS Teaching and Learning Specialist and EYFS Support Worker

Audience: Specifically for PVI, Childminders and School Practitioners working with, or planning to work with, 2 year olds 

Course Overview: Through a mixture of theory and practical activities, practitioners will be supported to extend their knowledge and understanding of the uniqueness of 2 year-olds, and how best to support their distinct developmental needs.

We will explore how to ensure an enriched and informed curriculum which can be delivered through quality interactions within play and through the provision of an enabling environment. We will explore typical and expected behaviour at this age and discuss strategies on how to manage behaviour and support self-regulation. 

Following the first session, practitioners will be supported to reflect on information delivered through a practical gap task which will be fed back and inform discussion at the second session.

Course Aims: 

·       To increase practitioner knowledge of typical age/stage child development for 2 year olds

·       To support understanding of expected behaviour and effective behaviour management

·       To explore an appropriate curriculum for this age and stage of development

·       To explore an effective environment for 2 year olds

Some feedback from last years sessions:

• "The training was really informative and helped"
• "The sessions were engaging as well as informative"
• "A big thank you for this lovely course you have both done, I wish there were more people like you to help nurseries better themselves"

Delegates need to attend both sessions.
