SUMMARY:There the Dance Is: Bringing Co-Regulation into Practice
DESCRIPTION:There the Dance Is: Bringing Co-Regulation into Practice\nFrom understanding children’s states to knowing how to respond \nThis third session with Professor Sam Wass brings together the thinking explored across the There the Dance Is series and considers what it means for everyday early years practice. \nDrawing on Sam’s research into attention\, regulation and the dynamic relationship between children and adults\, we will move from theory into practice: What might we notice? What might a child be communicating through their behaviour? And what can we actually do in response?

SUMMARY:How to Write Meaningful Observations
DESCRIPTION:How to Write Meaningful Observations\nMany practitioners tell us that observation\, assessment\, and planning can feel overwhelming — especially when there’s pressure to record learning rather than truly understand it. \nThis online practice clinic\, led by highly experienced nursery practitioners\, is designed to help you slow down\, think deeply\, and make sense of what you notice in children’s play and everyday activity. \nRather than focusing on formats or paperwork\, we’ll work together to explore how thoughtful observation can meaningfully inform teaching and practice.

SUMMARY:Ofsted Network
DESCRIPTION:Join Jude Simpson\, Senior His Majesty’s Inspector (SHMI)\, Ofsted\, for our next Ofsted Network session. \nOfsted: curriculum and teaching – how this is explored on inspection \nFollowing the questions and discussion from our previous session\, Jude will focus in more detail on curriculum and teaching and how these are explored during inspection. The session will consider what inspectors are looking to understand about what children are learning\, why this learning is important\, and how practitioners can confidently talk about the curriculum and teaching they provide in everyday practice. \nThere will also be an opportunity to ask questions and explore what this means for different types of early years provision. \nWho is it for?\nEarly years leaders\, managers\, practitioners and childminders who want to develop their understanding of the renewed Ofsted inspection approach and the updated toolkit. \n
