About this course
Who's in control? - working with children in groups
This workshop session is aimed at building confidence in your less experienced staff and helping them to develop effective practices in group management. We use games, scenarios and interactive discussion to highlight the basics of keeping control, especially when things get busy.
Your experienced staff will benefit from hearing about different approaches to common situations and strategies to get staff on board with a consistent approach to group management.
Topics
"They won't listen!" Getting and keeping attention
Bag of tricks - activities, games, fillers with no equipment
The foundations of group control - what works and what doesn't
Gone off track - sorting minor misbehaviour
Along the way we will link basic group management techniques to child development principles, which will give new staff a firm foundation to take a more active role in your programme.
This course is only available as an in-person workshop.
Cost: OSCN members: $65-00 per person, ($60-00 per person if more than 3 people attending.); non-members: $95-00 per person
