20TRA532 Supporting Primary School pupils on return to School

This year’s return to school is unchartered territory for the entire school community. It is undoubtedly an anxiety provoking time for everyone.  In this webinar I collate the best evidence available to guide teaching staff in their job of supporting pupils to readjust, recover and move forward.

Objectives:

Develop increased awareness of the impact of COVID 19 on children of primary school age

Explore how these experiences might ‘show up’ in school

Identify classroom management strategies that build psychological safety and security and reduce emotional and behavioural issues

Reflect on how the ‘learning brain’ manages in times of stress and uncertainty
