Impact in the Early Years
Transforming outcomes and accelerating progress
USING AUDIO VISUAL TECHNOLOGY TO HELP CHILDREN ACCELERATE EARLY LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
A pioneering approach which ensures impact
This full day session provides a clear outline of how a brand new and highly effective teaching approach can transform the early years classroom. A range of practical and adaptable activities will be shared which will make an immediate impact for all pupils. The focus of the day is primarily language and communication along with many activities which support progress in reading, writing and mathematics.
This is a training session which is built upon the very best evidence-based approaches and research into early learning. The combination of strong foundations, appropriate resources and a teacher's skill and understanding guarantee classroom impact. All ideas and approaches can be easily shared with colleagues.
The course will be delivered by Chris Williams who has presented this classroom approach in schools and at conferences across the UK and overseas. He has led teams of EYFS and KS1 staff teachers across the country on projects based on making an impact through effective integration of technology. Chris has shared this highly effective approach with staff in over 100 nurseries and Early Years settings across the UK and feedback continues to be extremely positive.
