Description

Smooth transitions between different phases of education are always important. It is critical that when children move from one part of the school to another, they do not experience a break in their education, or mark time. This is particularly so between the last year of the Foundation Phase and the start of Key Stage 2. This course reflects on the type of learner that will evolve during the Foundation Phase and the challenges that the Foundation Phase learner will present to Key Stage 2 colleagues.

Objectives

Course participants will have the opportunity to: 

• Reflect on the key changes in practice and pedagogy within the Foundation Phase philosophy
• Consider the changing role of the adult within Key Stage 2
• Plan a more appropriate learning environment and consider the challenges within their own context
• Develop practical examples of approaches that promote active learning
• Explore the implications for children transferring to Key Stage 2

Target Audience

Key Stage 2 Teachers, TLR Post Holders and Senior Leaders
