Guest Wolfie Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I've just discovered a site that sells DVDs to help with professional development - looking at observation skills and child development in particular. I watched part of one of the DVDs on a course today - the one called Falling Out, all about how young children resolve conflicts, and I thought it was good. I haven't looked at the price of them yet but might be worth a look if anyone is running training? http://www.sirenfilms.co.uk/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Falling Out" is one of the cheaper films at £58 - am just going to look to see if you can watch snippets online before you buy! Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 And also just noticed that there are a wide range of reviews of the films on their site - including a review by one Helen Edwards of the Foundation Stage Forum... Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wolfie Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Ah, I had a feeling that the prices might be high...... The snippet that I saw WAS good though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I have to say I've seen a fair number of the films from Siren and I think the materials are really good; particularly the accompanying notes. I know they're not cheap and therefore probably couldn't be purchased by individual settings, but maybe a cluster group or your LA could get hold of some to lend out.

Guest Wolfie Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Good idea! I need to build up the resources at my Centre for Profesional Development and there seems to be some money to use up at the moment...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
