WINGS is
a new strengths-based approach to social and emotional wellbeing for
children from birth to five years. As a program, Wings is designed to
support educators to optimise their pedagogical practice in order to
enhance overall outcomes for children.
The training
will challenge you to re-think and re-evaluate your approach to educating
in the early years through a process of critical reflection. You will
be encouraged to seek out and identify the strengths and capabilities
of the children in your care. The Program will teach you how to make
children aware of these strengths and capabilities through increasing
knowledge of strategies to guide, and impact upon children's self-awareness.
This skill will in turn enhance the ability of children to build capacity
to understand their own feelings which underpins the development of
empathy. Children then engage with others and act upon opportunities
to participate in the program with a growing sense of agency and wellbeing.
