Hunter Prelude 2022 Semann and Slattery Unlocking Children’s Thinking

Mar 25 2022

Save

Hunter Prelude has invited Anthony Semann from Semann & Slattery to discuss children’s thinking and how environments can promote this and how we can assess learning to show the positive impacts in our service.

Anthony will unpack children’s thinking and the benefits of promoting high order and divergent thinking in the environments we plan and how we can assess this learning, so the benefits are visible.

This will support us as professionals to develop an understanding of how we can best support children through our practice and pedagogy to have depositions for learning that are lifelong.

The training will open at 8.30am for registration with the event running from 9am - 3.30pm.

Food and refreshments will be provided on the day with breaks for morning tea and lunch. Coffee and tea will be provided throughout the day.
