Increasingly, schools are working very closely with their children, helping them to develop the skills needed to take charge of their own actions and encourage responsible attitudes towards others in the school.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe programme for children outlined in this book, \u003cem\u003ePeer Support in the Primary Playground\u003c\/em\u003e, is a primary playground peer support initiative which: trains older children to support their peers in solving issues within the playground by focusing on rebuilding relationships rather than apportioning blame; encourages children to see the viewpoint of others and to create their own mutually agreeable solutions; and helps to establish emotional health and well-being, safety, and happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe programme is structured, easy to follow, and can be used by teachers and teaching assistants within the school. These printable training materials and resources are comprehensive and can be readily adapted to suit the needs of individual children and schools. The programme fits into the current national initiatives such as Every Child Matters, Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL), Citizenship, and National Healthy Schools, and demonstrates good practice for the annual school self-evaluation form (SEF) and Ofsted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt can also add to the evidence required for the school's disability equality scheme, showing that they are committed to disability equality and eliminating bullying and harassment. When properly implemented, it will help to develop confidence and improve self-esteem in pupils, as well as improving behaviour and reducing stress, leading to a happier and healthier school environment. It is suitable for ages 4-11.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47932371075308,"sku":"9781906517151","price":116.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/peer-support-in-the-primary-playground-by-linda-bell-9781906517151","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
