Have you ever wondered about the research and theories that underpin the play focus of the Early Years Learning Framework and how these relate to work with babies, toddlers and older children?
Dr Lennie Barblett, a Senior Lecturer in Early Childhood Education, from the School Of Education, Edith Cowan University will discuss how the principles and practice of the Early Years Learning Framework connect in play-based approaches; how 'intentional teaching' respects and builds on children's interests and experiences and how observations of, and interactions with, children in play can be used for assessment and planning purposes.
Dr Barblett's research interests include early childhood (birth to eight years) curriculum, pedagogy and practice; and early childhood environments. She is an Executive of the WA Branch of Early Childhood Australia (ECA) and led the revision of the ECA Code of Ethics and the development of Early Childhood Teaching Standards for ECA and Teaching Australia. She also serves on the WA Curriculum Council Framework Committee.

Powerfully Productive People Workshops
Want to know how to effectively handle difficult clients, customers, volunteers, work
colleagues or managers? Would you like to be part of a truly productive team? Then get
ready to discover the most successful strategies and techniques for dealing with people
behaving badly and building powerful and productive teams.
Dr Judy Esmond
Dear Colleague, when working in the area of human behaviour I have facilitated
thousands of workshops throughout Australia. The two most constantly
requested training topics have always been "how to deal with difficult people
who behave badly" and "how to build terrific teams".
So I’ve designed two action-packed workshops in one day where you'll discover the most powerful
strategies and techniques. You can enrol for one workshop but join me for both workshops and save
more money $$$. Here’s what we’ll be covering together...
People Behaving Badly
Workshop 1 :Morning
Difficult clients, customers, volunteers, work colleagues, employees and bosses are everywhere. Yet very few people really know how to handle these annoying, frustrating, distressing and badly behaving people. But
this is about to change, as you join me for this workshop where you'll discover:
Workshop 2 : Afternoon
Teams can achieve so much more both quicker and faster than any one individual alone. Yet few people
know the secrets to building truly terrific teams. So join me, for this exciting workshop where we'll take the art of building great teams and teamwork, to a whole new level and explore:
Times: Workshop 1 - Dealing with People Behaving Badly - 9.00 to 12.00
Workshop 2 - Building Terrific Teams - 12.45 to 3.45
Each workshop is 3 hours and is absolutely packed with great ideas for you
Location: Inglewood Civic Centre Training Room nr of 9th Avenue and 891 Beaufort Street, Inglewood
Free parking all around the Centre
Bus Nos: 21, 22, 67, 68, 69 from the City will drop you at the door in 10 mins
YourInvestment:
You can attend either Workshop 1 or Workshop 2. But why miss a moment? You can
join me for BOTH seminars on one action-packed, content rich day and save ore dollars $$$.
Each workshop is only $129 per person (incls GST)
Both workshops not $258 but only $229 per person (incls GST)
Send 2 or more people to both workshops for only $219 per person (incls GST)
* A great saving of $39 per person compared to two full priced separate workshops. Workshop handouts plus morning and afternoon tea are provided.
