Thriving or Surviving? Well-being within the Foundation Phase

Description

If you’re struggling with assessing and quantifying children’s well-being and involvement then this is the course for you. When children have high levels of well-being and involvement ‘deep level learning’ takes place. The pace and intensity of cognitive activity in the child, or learner, is critical to the effectiveness of the learning process. This course focuses on ideas that support the development of well-being and involvement as well as introducing the Leuven Scale which enables practitioners to assess and quantify wellbeing and involvement for individual, and groups of, children.
