Overview

What you'll learn

You will be introduced to the concept of the “virtual backpack”— the idea that children bring their experiences, knowledge and emotions with them into learning environments. Participants will leave with practical tools and strategies to better understand and respond to children’s behaviour while fostering resilience and wellbeing.

Why you should attend

You will gain the ability to: 

  • Explore how children’s funds of knowledge provide a context for behaviour.
  • Investigate adverse childhood experiences and the impact on well-being and behaviour.
  • Identify practices that support children’s growth and development at key stages and through educational programs.
  • Discuss equality and equity as an impact on practice.
  • Understand what resilience is and how it is built in children.

The webinar made me feel powerful and highlighted the importance of my job in making a difference in childrens' life. Savitha S
