About The Event

This workshop is designed for those beginning their journey into Play Based Learning in the Classroom. Covering the Year 0-3 level, we look at:

• What the research says about play and how to effectively teach and learn through play
• Aligning the NZ Curriculum with a play-based learning classroom practice
• Understanding the developmental stages of your students and how to cater to their individual needs
• Learning about functions of play and urges that guide our teaching and learning
• How to plan for and enable play-rich environments
• How to begin assessing the skills and learning occurring during your student’s play activities using the Notice, Recognise and Respond formative assessment approach
