🌟 Excited to share that my case study on Continuous Provision in Year 1 has been published! 🌟

It’s a topic I’m truly passionate about, and I hope it can inspire new ideas and confidence for educators who are navigating this in their own schools and classrooms.

main drivers pushing educators out of the profession, like overwhelming workloads. It's time to make meaningful changes!💬

And let's not forget our settings for SEND pupils. An increase in inclusive, well-supported environments is crucial for every child's success. 🌟

🎉 Great news on the 5.5% pay increase for teachers and leaders, fully funded! 👏 This is a step in the right direction. Now, let's ensure our support staff get the pay they deserve too...

@HelenProulx2 Hey 👋 continuous provision is an approach whereby children have access to a range of provision areas and resources throughout the day and can independently explore/learn/embed, combined with opps. for working with an adult on more focused tasks. KS1 is 5-7 year olds.

[Ellen @educatingellen]

🚀 NEW BLOG POST!
