This course on Play in the Infant Classroom will take teachers step by step through establishing play as a discrete learning approach in their classrooms. It will explore how and what children learn through play, how to introduce structured play and build upon this approach to maximise children's learning.
The course commences on Thursday 4th November from 4.15 – 6.15pm in the INTO Learning Centre, 38 Parnell Square and cost €80. Click here for further details. Click here for an application form.
