Unpack The Benefits of a Multi-age Community

Register Now for the Mixed Age Groups Online Course

Mixed Age Groups

Many years ago we tried something that tipped the way that we worked on its head, we opened up the doors and allowed for free-roaming between our amazing outdoor space, our art studio and our two previously age-segregated rooms. It required a lot of communication between our team, a lot of reflective practice - but oh it was worth it!!

That's why when the opportunity to bring to life this wonderful course by Trisha Dean came about, we jumped at the chance.

Using what we know about how children best learn, this course by Trisha Dean will support you to consider alternate ways in which children can advance their knowledge and skill, including peer scaffolding and primary care. Learn how to make the most of minimum ratios and the benefits of a multi-age community.

This course will cover:

  1. Course Contents

    1. Welcome
    2. Lesson 1: What are the benefits of a multi-age community?

    5. Lesson 4: How a multi-age community is supported through calculating ratios across the service?
