On 3rd January 2024, we got off to an exciting start when our
enthusiastic team of teachers returned from their Winter vacation.
All teachers of the Tiny Tots, Pre FSL and FSL classes participated in
a full day of training and hands-on workshop, which centred around
Behaviour Management. Teachers were introduced to the Teaching
Pyramid, and then went on to learn about “building positive social
and emotional relationships, and managing separation anxiety”.

Aspects of the training included “promoting language development”
and “social and emotional coaching”. On 4 January, 2024 the FS1
and FS2 teachers were trained in social and emotional coaching. The
aim of the training was for teachers to be proactive when helping
children to be mindful about their social interactions, peer
communication, and making friendships. Carefully selected vignettes
were chosen during the planning of the workshops. These slides were
viewed as part of the teacher training on both days.

Overall it was indeed a successful two days with teachers
participating in role play, brainstorming buzzes, quizzes, re ections
and then giving feedback on how they would utilize what they had
learned from the training in their actual classroom situation.
