Description
As part of our shared ambition to 'narrow the gap' in Bolton, focusing on the most vulnerable children, we are working with providers of early education places to continue the 2-year-old network events on a biannual basis (autumn and summer).
Sessions will provide a forum for colleagues to focus on pedagogy, practice, and will allow for discussions on specific topics.
Working in partnership, we will be able to develop expertise in typical child development and accurate early identification of need, embedding the Bolton pathways and supporting the progress check at 2.
What will I learn?
These sessions will have a different focus each time.
During the summer term, we will:
- Introduce different professionals and their services; local pathways, what is available for every child and linked tools used in Bolton.
- Use local data and providers intelligence to consider current trend, patterns, concerns and priorities.
- Look at the new 2 Year Old Progress Check material.
- Take the opportunity to see practice in the host setting (circumstances permitting).
Please come prepared to share the context of 2 year olds in your setting. What are your needs and priorities for children, staff, and parents?
