Inspiring Interactions with Children Under 2
Inspiring Leadership in Early Leaning and Care
Inspiring Interactions with Children Under 2
This series of short videos aims to support the development of the learner’s professional knowledge, understanding and skills which underpin nurturing relationships in an Early Learning and Care setting. Through the introduction of the Marte Meo Method and video analysis, (a distinct component of the Method), these videos will deepen the learner’s knowledge of supportive interactions and the important role that they play in the lives of babies and young children. ‘Inspiring Interactions with Under 2s’ was developed by the Research and Professional Learning team in Early Childhood Ireland in consultation with Colette O’ Donovan, Licenced Marte Meo Supervisor and National Coordinator of the Marte Meo Service within Tusla.
Inspiring Leadership in Early Learning and Care
The aim of this short CPD series is to highlight the importance of leadership and its impact on quality in Early Learning and Care and that leadership can come from anywhere within the setting, not just be defined by role or title. These videos explore new approaches to leadership and the skills and competencies required to lead in complex environments like Early Learning and Care settings. They encourage the learner to reflect on the content of and critique their own understanding and knowledge of leadership, with a focus on pedagogical leadership and its implications for practice. ‘Inspiring Leadership’ CPD was written and developed by Early Childhood Ireland.
