For: Practitioners

Aim: This webinar will offer insight into how early years practitioners can support children to understand new concepts and master current tasks meaningfully within a rich and impactful EYFS curriculum by effectively assessing and building on their prior knowledge.

Rationale: Learning and understanding new concepts is directly related to how solid the foundation of that learning is – the prior knowledge. Therefore, correctly identifying and understanding what prior knowledge children have can help practitioners to cater for individual needs, reducing a child’s cognitive load and supporting them to be more engaged and better equipped as they progress into primary and secondary years.
