Great conversations make us feel good about ourselves and our place in the world, no matter how old we are. Orders, directions, and demands can make us feel resentful and annoyed. As educators in a sometimes stressful and time poor environment, we can unintentionally fall into a pattern of verbally directing and demanding when interacting with young children.

In this session, participants will explore 5 strategies to enhance their interactions and conversations with children. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss these strategies and reflect on their practices to enable them to finesse their communication strategies moving forward.

NB 14/12/2020: On 30 November 2020, the endorsement of all NESA endorsed providers was cancelled and registered courses were deregistered. A new policy for the Accreditation of Professional Development courses was released. The new application processes will be published and phased in during 2021. In line with this, CELA will submit an application for our courses to be re-assessed and re-accredited.

After 5 February 2021, courses will need to be accredited to continue contributing towards the maintenance of teacher accreditation requirements. CELA will continue to keep you informed and updated based on information that is progressively received from NESA regarding this re-accreditation process.
