18 – 19th April 2024 – The Learn To Play Approach for Kindergarten Teachers
2 Day Online Workshop + 3x Online Q&A follow up sessions
The Learn To Play Approach for Kindergarten Teachers is designed to support teachers in developing a deeper understanding of pretend play, how it develops, and why pretend play is important for literacy, narrative understanding, social competence, and self-regulation. The Pretend Play Checklist for Teachers (PPC-T) Manual and Pack of Assessment Scoring Forms are covered in the cost of the workshop and will be posted to all registrants prior to the workshop. The Manual provides in depth information on the development of pretend play, how to score and how to interpret. The Assessment Scoring Form is for the teacher to score each child’s play ability. For convenience it has a brief summary of the play skills by level and space for scoring the play skills. There is also space for comments.
