Encouraging Child-to-Child Collaboration to Enhance Learning and Development in Early Years

This webinar will provide headteachers, managers, senior leaders, teachers and practitioners with practical guidance on encouraging collaboration between young children in early years activities to promote wellbeing, build confidence, and develop teamworking and communication skills.

The Statutory framework for the EYFS identifies personal, social and emotional development as one of the prime areas of young children’s learning and development, asserting that through supported interaction with peers, “they learn how to make good friendships, co-operate and resolve conflicts peaceably” - essential attributes for school and later life.

In this webinar, Sarah Cummins, Montessori theory practitioner with 20 years’ experience as a teacher, SENCO and headteacher, explains the value of child-to-child collaboration, and identifies a range of opportunities and activities to encourage interaction and promote personal, social and emotional development.
