Description

Understand the brain understand the child: How understanding the developing brain helps us relate to children’s behaviour and guide teaching practice.

Do you want to understand more about why children behave and react the way they do?

What do teachers and educators need to know in order to pro-actively respond rather than react?

Refresh your understanding about the importance of:

• Children’s development, including the developing brain
• The role of the teacher and strong, warm relationships
• A quality learning environment that supports positive behaviour and inclusive practice
• General strategies to optimise opportunities for children with additional needs
• Observing, documenting and planning for individual children

This is suitable for teachers and educators working with children from three to eight years of age in early childhood and early years of school.
