Professional development for your staff
Professional learning is a great way to build your team’s knowledge, skills and confidence around inclusion. This professional development could be:
- 1:1 teacher coaching, mentoring and team teaching
- Staff meetings and development days
- Conferences for groups of schools
What type of staff meetings and development days are available?
EarlyEd staff run practical, interactive workshops that are based on evidence and best practice. All our professional development and training is tailor-made by our experienced staff who will collaborate with your school to meet your team’s needs. We call this our ‘More than just a Workshop’ approach. How often do you go to training and then never quite get to make the learning work for you in the classroom? Your staff will receive detailed hand-outs and resources that they can put straight into practice in their classrooms to make a difference to child outcomes.
EarlyEd staff can support you in the following areas: behavior management, social skills, sensory processing, ADHD, Autism, speech and language, fine and gross motor, literacy and mathematics.
