The Art of Engagement: 16 Powerful Ways to Transform Children’s Play.
A practical, hands-on day of playful pedagogy
Some children leap into play.
Others hover on the edges.
They watch. They wait. They wander.
They struggle to imagine, communicate or connect.
As educators, our role isn’t to take over children’s play, it’s to know exactly when and how to step in, enrich it and gently step back again.
It is also about us knowing when to offer structure, adult initiated ideas and teaching moments.
During the day we will explore, practice and develop techniques including:-
- Teacher in Role; Hot Seating; Mantle of the Expert; Conscience Alley; Pole Bridging; The Power of Possibility; Sustained Shared Thinking; Circle View; Wonder Wall; Fishbowl
Leave with 16 practical techniques, greater confidence in your interactions and a fresh understanding of how small changes in adult practice can transform the quality of children’s play, thinking and learning.
Bring your own lunch – Teas and coffees will be provided.
