SATURDAY 7 FEBRUARY
Nursery World is proud to present a world-leading
expert on early childhood and education
PROFESSOR FERRE LAEVERS:
Professor Ferre Laevers has been one of
the most powerful influences on early
years practice in recent decades. His work,
which focuses on both the quality and
process of learning, has enabled early years
practitioners to develop a greater understanding of child
development, the principles of best practice, and learning
objectives and outcomes for young children.
Central to his contribution to early years practice has been
his research on ‘well-being’ and ‘involvement’, the twin traits
that he has identified as the fundamental underpinnings of
successful development and early learning.
Professor Laevers is director of the Research Centre for
Experiential Education at the University of Leuven, Belgium.
Co-presenting
Joining him for the masterclass will be Jan Dubiel, national
development manager at Early Excellence. Having trained and
worked as an early years specialist, Jan was appointed by the
then Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) to lead on
the management of the (Early Years) Foundation Stage Profile.
Jan has developed a national and international reputation as
a conference speaker, consultant and trainer.
