The Role of the Mid-day Supervisor
This course is suitable for welfare assistants and members of mid-day supervisory teams.
This course acts as a helpful introduction to the course 'Effective Induction for Mid-day Supervisory Teams'. Experience from past courses suggests that it is particularly helpful for the full team, and/or for the mid-day team leader accompanied by newly appointed staff.
Participants will consider the role of the mid-day supervisor and look at different ways of managing and relating to children in order to enhance relationships and increase confidence and skills.
By the end of the session, participants will
| * | have explored the links between the course materials, the Five Outcomes and safeguarding children |
| * | be able to describe the content and boundaries of their roles |
| * | have a working knowledge of positive discipline, eg positive praise; encouraging co-operation; giving clear, courteous, assertive commands; setting fair, firm limits; utilising available resources |
| * | be able to describe and apply strategies for managing children’s misbehaviour, eg applying consistent consequences to misbehaviour; planning playground supervision; gain new ideas for playground games. |
