Workshop: Understanding Relational and Intentional Pedagogy in the Early Years
Ticketed half-day workshop for early years' practitioners or educators who wish to develop their knowledge of relational pedagogy and incorporate into their practice.
The focus of this half-day workshop, hosted by the Oxford Education Deanery at the Department of Education, University of Oxford and led by Professor Iram Siraj OBE will be on evidence informed understandings of the role of relational pedagogy to children’s learning and how to develop strong relationships that foster learning. It will clarify the role of the adult in supporting intentional pedagogy too, in leading to desirable learning outcomes using a play based, experiential approach.

The course will help participants to increase their knowledge of the critical role of the adult in supporting high quality interactions, developing children’s self-regulation and supporting excellent play routines and in developing a climate in which all children feel valued and learn using the curriculum and an appropriate pedagogy. Participants will see many clips of excellent practice to supplement the research evidence.
