Going to Big School Next Year –
Helping Families and Children Prepare
NESA registered PD
Early years educators understand the changes children face when moving to school – what more can we do to ensure each child (and their family) is truly ready to transition? This session will explore how we can prepare children and families to embrace the transition and to have a clear picture of what to expect at big school and work together to create achievable long term goals.
WHEN:Â Mon 21 Oct
Educator wellbeing – filling an empty bucket
NESA registered PD
This session will explore where you find your ‘flow’ and what depletes your energy. It is important for educators to identify what fills their bucket and enable them to be present when working with children and their team mates. Drawing from Positive Psychology, Neuroscience and Emotional Intelligence this workshop aims to support educator wellbeing. It will help you to formulate strategies that enable you to navigate difficult conversations, tricky personalities and assist you in identifying and embracing your strengths, passions and purpose as an educator.
