PVI Conference - ‘Growing Young Thinkers’

  • WORKSHOP DETAILS
One of the most difficult challenges practitioners face is supporting children to be thinkers. Often it is difficult to judge when to stand back and allow children to have a go and to think for themselves. This conference will support practitioners and managers in the PVI sector to develop their practice and gain ideas to grow young thinkers.
 


Keynote Speaker

Marion Dowling, from Early Education will lead two sessions focusing on encouraging critical thinking, the role of the adult as a thinking companion and planning for independence.

Before joining Early Education, Marion was a former headteacher, LA advisor and HMI.
