How do you ensure that individual educators in your team share the knowledge they have gained on training they attend? Do key messages often get lost?
The Early Years Alliance offers private workshop delivery and bespoke training on key early years topics, delivered to your whole team either in-person or virtually at a time that suits you.
This in-house training offers:
Consistency: ensuring that your whole setting teams hears the same message at the same time
Comfort: providing a safe environment for your team to interact and learn together
Cohesion: supporting team building through shared learning opportunities
The sessions also provide opportunities for settings to more clearly identify impact by encouraging a team approach and shared focus, and for managers and leaders to observe their teams and identify both strengths and areas for development.
Settings who opt for multiple sessions will also get the chance to build a supportive relationship with their trainer, who will use current work examples to enable educators to apply their learning to real-life situations.
The Alliance offers two types of in-house training for early years settings: private team workshops and bespoke training.
Private team workshops
These are Alliance training sessions for early years professionals based on the content of our popular Virtual Classrooms, delivered exclusively to your whole staff team at a date and time of your choosing either online or in-person.
Topics are listed in full below.
Bespoke training
Our bespoke training packages are designed to meet the specific needs of your setting team. Simply let us know your requirements and we’ll design a bespoke CPD package or team inset day to suit your setting.
Our in-house bespoke offer is tailored to your individual setting and requirements and can be delivered in-person or virtually to your whole staff team at a date and time of your choosing.
