Supporting Early Language Development
Evidence based leadership CPD for primary Early Years leads
A school improvement course, focused on ensuring the very best outcomes in early language development. Participants will attend 6 sessions and complete gap tasks in between sessions. Those who commit will be expected to attend all sessions.
Programme aims:
- Develop an understanding of a working model of language through which to observe children’s language development through the primary years, and beyond
- Develop an understanding of the stages of ‘typical’ language development concentrating on the expected milestones that occur during primary years
- Provide practical classroom skills and techniques for quality first teaching in YR and KS1 that will create skilled and confident classroom practitioners and improve outcomes for all children
