Purposeful Provision - Middlesbrough

Provision can be an exceptional tool for developing the skills of children in Early Years settings however in so many cases this 'third teacher' falls short. This could be for many reasons including 'style over substance' where provision looks the part but isn't purposeful or provision isn't built to reflect the current needs of the children in the setting.

Through this hands on workshop practitioners will learn about how to develop provision which reflects the needs and interests of children whilst staying true to the ethos of the school or setting.

In addition, delegates will learn:

* Why we do provision, the resources we should be providing and how to critically analyse these resources. 

* How to develop children's sense of ownership.

* How to display resources in a way that is developmentally appropriate.
