Teachers TV Early Years Week
Programme highlights include:
Early Years: How Do They Do It In Sweden?
Sweden's attitude to teaching 1-6 year-olds appears incredibly relaxed. There is little structured learning, play is paramount and the children are encouraged to help with cleaning and catering. Most of the children who leave pre-school can't read or write, yet within three years of starting formal schooling, Swedish children lead the literacy tables in Europe. We travel to Motala in Sweden to discover just how they achieve such stunning results.
EYFS Today � Positive Relationships
We follow two children at different stages within the EYFS to see how the principle of positive relationships, and involving the wider community around the child in their education, affects them, their parents and their key person within the school. Professor Chris Pascal provides expert advice.
Learning Through Play � Mathematical Development
Troedyrhiw Infant School is a pilot school for the Foundation Phase in Wales, a new play-based curriculum for 3-7 year-olds. We look at how the scheme has encouraged mathematical development in their nursery and reception classes, with the focus put on experiential learning.
Need to Know � Early Years Foundation Stage
Education journalist Mike Baker presents this essential guide to the crucial issues in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). He details what you need to know about the new framework and how it will affect the daily work of birth-to-five educational environments.
Men in Primary � Early Years
This programme follows a male reception teacher, male nursery teacher and male nursery nurse in the female-dominated area of early years education, giving a frank account of the issues they face. They discuss the highs and lows of teaching and why male role models for young children are so important.
