Relationship Mapping – Attachment and Attunement in the Early Years With Jacqui Lewis (Bundle)
March 19 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm GMT
Free
Stronger Practice Hub Event
This training is being delivered by Jacqui Lewis on behalf of the Stronger Practice Hub.
Using the beautiful simplicity of sociograms, this course will provide you with a visual representation of the relationships with the children in your setting. As early years educators and leaders of pedagogy, you are invited to deconstruct, confront, theorise, and potentially think otherwise about the significance of positive and nurturing relationships within the setting.
Aims and objectives – Delegates will have opportunities to:
- Reflect, identify, question, and potentially reconsider assumptions and perceptions of the connections and relationships with children in our settings.
- Consider the significance of equitable, positive, and nurturing relationships, between every child and early years educator, to have the best possible start in life.
- Explore how the concept of relationship mapping can support each child to connect to at least one adult in the setting: to be known and feel felt.
- Reflect upon the individual and pedagogical factors of influence to these relationships, such as attachment stages and types, play, deployment, attendance, interaction styles, key person approach, gender constructs, transitions, unconscious bias and culture.
For all early educators across a whole setting from 0-5 years.
This is a two-part course. You must attend both sessions.
Session 1: Tuesday 19th March, 4:00pm – 6:00pm
Session 2: Tuesday 26th March, 4:00pm – 6:00pm
