This workshop combines the expertise of Karen Stagnitti (play) with Louise Paatsch (language and literacy and education) to bring to teachers and therapists ideas and explanations of why and how to embed play in the classroom. This workshop will cover why play is relevant to learning and the classroom, how to assess and on play using the Pretend Play Checklist for Teachers, how to link play ability to language and literacy, and how to embed play in the classroom to extend children’s language and literacy.
This is a very practical and hands on workshop with examples linking play abilities to the Australian curriculum.
This workshop would be valuable to professionals who work in schools and are interested in play, language and literacy.
