This one-day course will give you the knowledge and skills to use the Leuven Scales of Wellbeing and Involvement to inform your teaching.
With emotional wellbeing now being a high priority it is vital that we understand how it affects learning, and the impact it has on our teaching.
The curriculum across Early Years, Key Stage One and Two is increasingly subject specific and table based, but in order to get achieve the best with our children we need to understand them first.
Effective use of the Leuven Scales enables us to better understand an individual or group, and work with what is affecting their learning.
The key point here is that the Leuven Scales are not just a tick list or another assessment to be done every half term and filed. The Scales are a tool to better understand a situation, and then monitor it. This will make a measurable impact on learning.

Facilitator
Dr Sue Allingham called her consultancy ‘Early Years Out of the Box’ after a conversation with a friend. Reflecting on the increasing culture of tick boxes, and labelling children the friends agreed that it was limiting and prevented children being able to develop their potential to think and learn. As an Independent Consultant, Author and Trainer, Sue is known for her practical style of working through coaching, mentoring, modelling, training and working alongside teams. Her interests in teaching and learning have led to work on emotional and physical environments that will support informed teaching and learning. Sue learnt the theory and practice of Leuven Scales from Professor Ferre Laevers. This work has recently led to her being trained and accredited in the Brain-SET approach. This approach is rooted in early brain development and has added a new dimension to her work. Every child is entitled to a developmentally informed learning environment
