Famly Sessions S2E7: How to adopt a holistic approach in the Early Years

On-demand

Often, when reflecting on improvements to our settings, we tend to compartmentalise our provision. First we’ll tackle our SEND inclusion policy, then later on we’ll work on parent partnerships, then after that we’ll adopt free flow play… but is this the most effective way to work?

Taking a holistic approach to education firstly means understanding the wide range of social and environmental factors which positively contribute to children’s development and, more importantly, how these factors are linked and influence one another... so where on earth do you start?

At 7pm on Monday, January 30th, holistic education consultant Yasmin Darling will be hosting a special 40-minute session, followed by 20 minutes where I'll put your questions to her. She'll discuss:

  • The importance of having an authentic vision for your whole setting’s curriculum and learning culture. 
  • Tried and tested communication strategies to enable a shared understanding among staff and families, to help that vision become a reality across your provision. 
  • The benefits of ongoing meaningful CPD for all staff, with a focus on reflecting on the Ofsted three I’s (intent, implementation and impact) and the EYFS principles.

On top of that, Yamin will be providing the slides from the presentation and so you can continue to learn more after the session - and you'll get a certificate, too. 

What’s more, if you can't attend live, sign up anyway and we'll send you the recording as soon as we're finished.

Sign up for your free spot today (via the form on this page) and leave your questions. We can't wait to have you.

See you there!
