A sustained shared thinking approach can be used in early years; as a way to enhance children's learning and development. This course explores the research underpinning a sustained shared thinking approach; and looks at a review into this thinking; to determine what it can mean for educators. The benefits of sustained shared thinking are summarised; with a closer look at the role of the adult in promoting children's learning.
The Early Years Alliance is the largest and most representative early years membership organisation in England. We support early years providers to deliver quality, affordable and sustainable care and learning to families, and work to ensure that all children, regardless of background, are given the best possible start in life. The Alliance’s vision is a society where every child enjoys the same opportunity to learn through play. We believe families should be at the centre of policy-making and parents empowered to become more involved with their child’s learning and development.
