"Just wanted to say the two P4C days were excellent, really made me think about my own thinking and was good to see how you adapted it for younger children. Very often on these courses we are told how the older children can access various strategies etc and the younger children are an oversight, but now feel like I can get there thank you." (Clare McManus, Redcar LA, UK)
James examines how curiosity can be used as a strategy for extending children’s questions and how Early Years workers can most effectively develop children’s thinking skills. The focus is on developing critical, creative and positive thinking in young children and is rooted in theory and practical applications for immediate use in your Early Years setting
“Useful, fun, a chance to talk with others and just the right pace for us. Challenging in a ‘nice’ way. The best course I have been on for years!” (Early Years Practitioner, Gateshead, UK)
