Developing and leading excellence in the early years foundation stage NY012 / A20
Summary
"An inspiring course which has left me with lots to think about."Past participant
Aimed at science subject leaders and Early Years practitioners, this highly practical course will help you identify and demonstrate good teaching and learning practices in science for children in Early Years. You will acquire a range of strategies to develop children’s experiences to extended scientific enquiry.
The course focusses on the process of learning in the early years including ways to encourage talk and effective communication. There will be opportunities to explore working with your local community.
This course will be delivered over a number of sessions, some of which will be delivered remotely on the days and times detailed below, with those later in the year being delivered face to face at the National STEM Learning Centre in York. To participate in full, you will need to ensure you have dedicated time away from the classroom for the remotely delivered elements of this course, as you would if this were a face to face course.
We will take regular breaks and structure the content so that it is interactive and impactful. You must attend all sessions in order to receive the bursary, and sessions will not be recorded. For more information on remote delivery, please visit https://www.stem.org.uk/remote-courses-for-teachers
