Leeds Communication Friendly Setting (LCFS)

Did you know that creating the right learning environment can lead to learning gains in reading, writing and maths of up to 16%?

This short course gives an overview of how the physical environment of the classroom impacts on children and young people’s speech, language and communication and the effect this can have on their learning. It introduces practical strategies that can be implemented and embedded within individual classes or across a whole setting, to enable a good communication environment and support attention and listening, language, communication, and behaviour.

Aims:

• To develop an understanding of how the physical environment affects communication

• To know which aspects of the learning environment could impact successful communication

• To provide practical strategies to enable you to adapt your learning environment in order to create communication friendly classrooms.

Ideal for:

Teachers and Childcare/Education staff in Early Years, Foundation stage, Key Stage 1, and Key Stage 2. This session is aimed at a Universal level of provision and so strategies and environmental modifications can be adapted and applied to support all children within the setting, including those with speech, language and communication needs and English as an Additional Language.
