Overview

Play supports the lifelong development of children. Learn about the benefits of play for SEND students and how best to facilitate and support play as a practitioner (with a focus on facilitating play in playgrounds).

Description

Learning outcomes

  • You will understand the importance of play and the main types of play
  • You will feel confident when facilitating play in the playground
  • You will know some tools, ideas, and strategies for supporting play with SEND students

Advantages of this course

  • Play should be freely chosen and students with SEND should be given the freedom to decide what they would like to play, and how to go about it. For practitioners, it can be challenging when supporting students to access play without intervening too much. This course will suggest ways to support SEND students through play.
  • Teaching staff should always be finding ways to increase play and physical activity during the school day, and increase child participation. This course contains ideas for activities and games to try at school.
  • Additional activities encourage you to reflect on your learning
  • There is also suggested extended reading that gives both practical information and links to websites to expand knowledge

On successful completion of this course, you will receive a Laser e-Certificate (included in the course price). You will also have the option of purchasing an NCFE CACHE endorsed e-Certificate for an additional £4.99.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
