Why the Early Years matter: Insights from research
Tuesday 17 June, 8.00am (UK time)
Webinar information
How much of an impact does a child's first year at school have on their future progress?
Knowing what children know and can do is vital to effective lesson planning in the Early Years. But do fundamental skills, like early reading and maths, translate across international school contexts? Does a child's starting point and their progress look the same whether they're starting school in Cyprus or in India?
Recent research, which used results from the Cambridge Early Years Check Together assessment from Cambridge schools around the world, shed some insights on this topic.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- what we found out about early reading and early maths skills in international schools
- how this can help you best prepare and plan your Early Years provision for future success
- why it's important to understand your students' starting points and their background
- and the important questions we want to discuss about Early Years education.
Who is this for?
This webinar is ideal for Leaders in the Early Years, Head Teachers, Deputy Heads, Teachers, Practitioners and anyone interested in Early Years research.
Not free to attend? You can still sign up; the recording will be sent to all registrants after the webinar.
We hope to see you there!
