Nurturing Boys Learning in the Early Years
There continues to be much debate on how best we can meet the needs of children in the early years, and this often focuses on boys. Respecting the core principle of the unique child and that the picture is complex; we will explore the ongoing evidence that many boys nationally are not achieving the same levels of expected development in aspects of the EYFS as girls. We will consider the latest research specifically relating to boys learning, and support you and your team with using this knowledge to develop an environment and curriculum, which will inspire and engage - enabling you to be the best possible partner in learning for all your children!
Part 1:
In this first session we will explore the big picture in relation to boy’s learning. This will involve looking closely at national data and discussing key research that will help us to develop effective practice.
Part 2:
The focus for this session will be the Prime Areas of Learning. We will explore how a physically challenging learning environment is key, how communication and language skills support cognitive development and why personal, social and emotional development underpins the effectiveness of the learning process. This session will be packed with practical guidance to help you to put the key principles highlighted in research into your classroom practice.
Part 3:
In this final session, we will explore the vital role of the adult in supporting and nurturing boys’ learning in the EYFS. We will look closely at how adults connect effectively with boys interests and can use this positive learning relationship to inspire, challenge and also model effective learning behaviours.
