from Nurture the Seed: Teacher Aide PLD Hosted by moe-teacheraides

Nurture the Seed: Teacher Aide PLD "Te mātai i ngā whakaaro o te minenga | Reading the room" Welcome to this series of podcasts for Teacher Aides in Aotearoa New Zealand. In this episode, we talk about practical ways teacher aides can support students with physical, sensory and communication needs through observation, collaboration, inclusive practice and meaningful everyday interactions. Our guests this time are Cassie Welsh, Occupational Therapist, and Felicity Merritt, a Speech Language Therapist, both at the Ministry of Education. Remember: if you hear anything during your mahi that raises concern about a child's safety, you must not carry it alone. Talk to your classroom teacher or SENCO and refer to your school's Child Protection policy. This podcast was produced for the Ministry of Education as part of Poipoia te kākano | Nurture the seed Teacher Aide PLD.
