Frequently asked questions

Do I need to watch the other sessions first?

Who is this for?

Primary school teachers and SNAs who want practical, classroom-ready ways to observe and assess child-led play. It's also a great fit for school leaders looking to support staff in valuing play-based learning.

How long is the session?

The session is 47min long

Is there anything to download?

Yes, you'll get a downloadable observation and dispositions template, along with a list of the therapeutic powers of play, ready to adapt for your own classroom.

Is this only for junior classes?

 No, the strategies apply across primary school, from junior infants through to fifth and sixth class
