PLD webinars – Running focus sessions such as outdoor sessions and tamariki nui sessions
In support of the Grow your centre initiatives, the Professional Learning and Development (PLD) team will soon be facilitating a series of webinars sharing information about focus sessions such as Outdoor sessions and Tamariki nui sessions. These webinars will focus on the teaching and learning aspects, how to support tamariki effectively and tips and tricks for making the sessions as successful as possible. These webinars will be a great source of information for centres hoping to start focus sessions and we’d love to see centres that already run focus sessions join us to share their experiences and advice as well.
