Considering Nature Play in OSHC - Webinar Wednesday 

Facilitated by Rarni Rothwell

How many of us remember the joy we felt when we played ‘make-believe’ in our backyard or the local park, or squelched about in mud when it rained? With the time pressures of today and concerns for children’s safety, spending time outside has become something we need to plan and supervise carefully—but the benefits are well worth the effort.

Join us for this half-hour webinar as we explore free play in nature, as well as activity-based options that allow you to support and scaffold the children of your OSHC community. This unique pedagogical framework describes how educators can share nature with children through intentional experiences, and translates beautifully into OSHC context.

This session is suited to OSHC professionals at all career stages.

In response to the changing needs of the OSHC sector we have made the following modifications to our Webinar Wednesdays:

• 30 minute sessions - shorter, sharper content to overcome the time constraints many services are experiencing that limits their engagement with professional development
• New supplementary resources for every session including: 
  • Training  Plan for Educational Leaders with session objectives, regulatory context, pre reading or viewing options, learning activities and additional resources links. This is designed to scaffold Educational Leaders with supporting their educator team in their on the job training, ongoing learning and professional development. It draws connections between session content and pedagogy and practice, and provokes critical reflection on the important role of educational leadership.
  • Educator Worksheet with reflections and activities for ‘Putting into Practice’ the session content
  • This means that even through the sessions are shorter – you’re not missing out on the important bits

      

• Cost savings - enjoy educator team (per service) participation for the same fee
• New delivery time - 10:00am to 10:30am EST
