Mini INSET Session: Schemas

Posted by Ali | Mar 21, 2025 | Featured News to Spotlight, Mini INSET and Staff Room Sessions | 0 |

This comprehensive staff meeting template provides early years educators with a structured approach to understanding and supporting schemas in children’s play and development. Over the course of one hour, the resource guides teams through exploring schemas – repeated patterns of behaviour that help children develop cognitive connections and understand the world in their unique way. The template includes practical exercises for identifying schemas in children’s play, discussing real observations or scenario-based examples, and auditing the learning environment. Complete with reference materials including a detailed schema types table, discussion scenarios, and an environment audit tool, this resource helps practitioners build confidence in recognising and extending children’s natural learning patterns. The template empowers settings to tailor their practice to children’s intrinsic interests, support deeper engagement, and create more inclusive environments where all children’s ways of learning are valued.
