Understanding The Theory And Practice Of Nurture Groups (H-level)

Course Code: DDOPRO_30

Honours Level Module

The module aims to prepare people to work in or support nurture groups through examination of the historical and theoretical background that underpins the nurture group approach. It is designed to enable participants to develop a critical understanding of the nurture group concept in relation to current thinking about how children learn and so apply their growing understanding of how children learn to their work in nurture groups. Participants will explore effective models of classroom organisation and management, identification and assessment of pupils, record keeping and the curriculum and consider the wider context of the nurturing school and early intervention in relation to nurture groups. It is designed primarily for those working in Nurture Groups - teachers and teaching assistants and it is hoped that both will attend the training together. However, participants often include Headteachers, local authority advisers and educational psychologists as well as teachers and teaching assistants who do not work in Nurture Groups but are interested in early intervention.
