Communication and Language: All about talk
A one day course for Early Years Practitioners
"‘Getting children’s language right in the early years makes all the difference to their long-term life chances…. for example, the vocabulary at five years old is one of the best predictors of how well children will do in their GCSEs and the best predictor of whether those who are brought up in poverty can, as adults, break out of the cycle of disadvantage."
Jean Gross, Communication Champion (2011)
Following the publication of the Tickell Report in May 2011 communication and language was one of the three prime areas of learning to be identified. These prime areas are key to the structure of the new EYFS and were selected because they form the basis of learning and development for young children. They will support children along their journey into school and help them to become lifelong learners.
We will focus on:
Characteristics of learning in the EYFS will be woven throughout the session
Facilitators: Helen Banks, Gill Coathup, and Felicity Thomas
Date: 26th September 2014 Time: 9.30-3.30
Venue: Earlham Early Years, Centre Cadge Road, Norwich. NR5 8DB
Course fees: £60 per delegate, £100 for two delegates from the same setting. This includes a sandwich lunch, tea, and coffee
