Leadership, Behaviour
| Effective Time Magagement | Discover ways to manage your time more effectively, plan your day, week, month and schedule tasks in order of priority. Time is a consistent barrier in which we all face regular restrictions within creating loss of direction, achievement of set goals we are working towards and those contingency plans we need to put into action. When time doesn't permit our day to work out the way we had planned this causes stress, uncertainty and frustration as the following day will be doubled with work requirements, tasks and projects we may need to complete. Learn ways to prioritise, share the work load and be prepared for the unexpected. Learning Outcomes

Leadership, Behaviour
| Exploring Philosophical Approaches | When planning and responding to children's needs and education, our ideas often come from a philosophical base or viewpoint. It is valuable to consider a variety of philosophical approaches when establishing what feels right to us as professionals when presenting programs to children.
Such philosophies as Reggio Emilia, Steiner, Montessori and Te Whaki for example can lend many ideas and approaches for working with children in meaningful ways that embrace specific elements of early childhood education and alternate ways of programming.
This interactive session will discuss and explore a range of philosophical approaches and how these can influence our ideas when working with children.

Behaviour, Program Planning, Development
| Group Times Made Easy | Group times are a way of connecting children together be it formally in a planned group session, or spontaneously when the moment presents itself. This workshop will examine the purpose of bringing children together in groups and the power these times have on children’s overall development. Through these times spent together both caregiver and child build the bonds of a strong relationship to each other through sharing stories, songs, ideas and feelings. This interactive online session will inspire you to provide creative and wonderful group times for all children.

| Managing Children's Behaviour | There are no magic answers or secret remedies to make a child behave appropriately. There are however some techniques that will help to teach a child more acceptable behaviours. It is important that the educators involved with young children have the skills and knowledge to implement behaviour management techniques.

Leadership, Behaviour, Miscellaneous, Development
| Supporting Children with Autism | It may seem that more and more young children are now being diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Whether mild or high-functioning, children affected often find it difficult to communicate, both linguistically and socially, and have difficulty with imaginative play and flexibility. Children may also go through times of acute stress and experience ‘melt-downs’. This session will outline the different kinds of Autism Spectrum Disorders, how to recognise symptoms and more importantly how to support both children and their families. Learning Outcomes

Leadership, Behaviour
| Team Building | Working in child care requires teamwork. Duties are rotated, schedules coordinated, resources shared. But are you really a team or simply a group of people attempting to work under the same roof? Does your workplace atmosphere resemble a caring community of professionals where mutual support and appreciation abound, or is it more like a dysfunctional family full of tension, suspicion and resentment? Lack of teamwork leads to a joyless, stressful workplace and ultimately to poor quality child care.

Leadership, Behaviour
| Team Esteem | Who you believe your team are, is the foundation for everything your team will do and experience. In so many ways, your team’s poor self image can literally prevent you from achieving and even setting goals that could make your work life an accomplishment-filled adventure. This session will consider how confidence in your own ability to think and cope with the basic challenges of working within children’s services influence your teams esteem.

| The Right Words to Use - Communicating Effectively | Anyone can ''talk'' to children. But only a true advocate of children can communicate and interact effectively with children. Come along and rediscover communication strategies that will assist in effective interactions with all age groups of children. Learn how to promote positive behaviours by the way you interact with children. Identify times when it is acceptable to stand back and listen to children. Above all, have the opportunity to discuss common strategies to further improve the way you interact effectively with children.
