Interactions Matter Video

This course was delivered to Buckinghamshire settings. By watching this video, it will take you through a very clear and comprehensive journey, presented with warmth and humour, where the features and stages of a high-quality interaction is unpicked, exemplified and captured in an easy to remember format.

The course begins with key research around children’s communication, language and vocabulary development, and will move onto considering the implications for practice. The vital role of attuned adults who engage in respectful, authentic, back and forth interactions which truly extend children’s language and learning is thoroughly explored, as will the pitfalls and potential barriers. Practical strategies to positively shape the way practitioners interact with children will be provided throughout, as well as tools to support practitioners in self-evaluating and improving their practice in this area.
