Understand school readiness and move beyond the pressures and expectations of families APST 1: Know children and how they learn Presented by Anthony Semann
Description
This webinar delves into the concept of school readiness, exploring its true meaning beyond the everyday pressures and expectations from families. Early childhood educators often face challenges in addressing parents' concerns about whether their children are 'ready' for school. This session provides a comprehensive understanding of school readiness, emphasising the holistic development of children and the importance of social-emotional skills, physical health, and cognitive abilities. Participants will gain insights into communicating effectively with families, easing their anxieties while promoting a well-rounded approach to early education.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Define school readiness comprehensively, encompassing social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.
2. Identify strategies to support all areas of child development in preparation for school.
3. Communicate effectively with families about the multi-faceted nature of school readiness, alleviating undue pressure.
4. Implement practical techniques in the classroom to foster an environment that nurtures school readiness.
5. Advocate for a balanced approach to early childhood education that prioritises children's wellbeing and overall development.
Join us for an engaging session to equip educators and teachers with the knowledge and tools to support children and families in the journey towards school readiness.
