Are you new to teaching and find yourself in a Reception class? Are you an experienced teacher and working in EYFS for the first time? Are you an experienced teacher returning to EYFS? This programme will reveal the excitement and challenge of working with the youngest children in school. Whether this is your first post in teaching, you have come from teaching in another age group or you are returning to EYFS following time teaching in another year group, this course is for you. These sessions will focus on different aspects of the Reception classroom. Through face to face sessions we will provide an opportunity for you to share good practice and discuss issues and concerns with colleagues. We would like this training to be responsive to the needs of NQTs and experienced teachers new to or returning to EYFS in addition to any focus we may agree in response to national and local initiatives or EYFS data so please bring along your ideas and suggestions. This is an opportunity to make links with other teachers in EYFS and has always been a useful discussion forum for sharing ideas, tips and concerns.

This training is specifically for practitioners in South Glos Council's adult social care division. Strength based approaches are not new in Adult Social Care. You will be familiar with this term and will be able to identify aspects of it in your current practice. Our starting point will be recognising the practice strengths and professional curiosity you already apply in South Gloucestershire in your work with adults and carers and enabling you to share ideas and tools with your colleagues. A strength-based approach is as much about how professionals think and feel about their role, and the individuals they work with, as it is about using new and/or different tools. It requires finding ways to share both power and responsibility with people to promote wellbeing. During the session you will have the chance to explore what this means for you and your colleagues in the challenging climate within which you are working.
