During this three hour Webinar, Dr Julie Fisher will discuss:-

Every day, early years practitioners engage in interactions with young children that have the potential to enhance their learning. However, such is the temptation to squeeze every teaching moment out of each interaction that practitioners often interrupt children’s thinking and consequently interfere with their learning. Julie’s webinar will address the knowledge, timing and sensitivity necessary to interact effectively. It will consider how practitioners effectively extend and enhance children’s communication and language through natural, genuine ‘conversation’. Through the use of DVD footage the webinar will explore the role of the practitioners working in baby rooms through to Year 2. By observing practice that is both adult-led and child-led, there will be opportunities for delegates to reflect on how to tune in to children’s current thinking and how to respond in ways that are of benefit to their learning and development.

Issues addressed:

• Why talking to – and listening to - children matters so much
• Asking ‘who leads the learning?’ and how this alters the role of the adult
• Tuning in to the child  in order to encourage communication
• Maintaining the momentum of an interaction and sustaining thinking
• Exploring how to extend, enhance and enrich children’s language
• Questioning -  how it can inhibit thinking – and what to do instead
• Examining when, whether and why an interaction becomes interference

Delivered by: Dr Julie Fisher, who is an independent Early Years Adviser, Trainer, Author and Visiting Professor of Early Childhood Education at Oxford Brookes University
