About this Event
You change the environment, you change the behaviour.
Today more than ever, this saying is front and centre for many educators teaching to such a greater diversity of learners.
Join us along with Mark Armitage (Playwork Consultant), Dr Anna Bortoli (Special Education & Austisim Consultant)and Robyn Papworth (Paediatric Exercise Physioligist), in exploring practical ways to make the environment a resource for your teaching. The environment as the third teacher!
Research shows that there is value in creating learning spaces that promote engagement and attention, ensuring the best possible learning outcomes for all learners. When the learning environment is organised, it can serve as a useful resource to early years professionals, especially when there is limited staff support.
The environment can be created in such a way, that it becomes an additional teacher, which can be achieved by the organisation of the macro and micro spaces of the room.
A well-organised environment is often characterised by key elements such as predictability and stability; clarity of visual cues and clearly defined learning areas that enhance skill acquisition and participation. Such environments will help manage the challenges diverse learners bring to the classroom. The impact of different processing and learning styles can be minimised when clear cues and structure are present in the environment.
