These one-to-one workshops are designed from the core philosophy of the CHALK Crew. We aim to develop literacy and language skills for children who are in school or getting ready for school. We focus on assisting children in finding their voice and self-expression with language. Bonus outcomes we see include a passion for books and reading; creative and critical thinking skills; concentration and reading confidence. Books are brought to life by the children through workshops exploring the themes, characters, pictures and words. Using drama, visual art, craft, dance, and story-telling, children build reading, writing and numeracy skills. The CHALK Crew completes a journal weekly with each child, documenting progress, achievements, difficulties and areas to work on together. Workshops take place across the school term. Cost per workshop, including preparation, planning, reporting and materials: $145 for 45 minutes Please contact Ceara for more information: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f279eb2f2808d25cc0ce149/ab5ee35e-8bcb-4759-978b-99b0540cba3f/6.png Skill-building Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f279eb2f2808d25cc0ce149/53dca41c-b501-4d96-9cc8-a0db8b5f67ab/8F084077-DA9B-4342-AC4A-44F98BC34F21.JPG Skill-building Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f279eb2f2808d25cc0ce149/e1c08886-1b1e-4473-972f-fa0ea8333754/1.png Skill-building Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f279eb2f2808d25cc0ce149/c2b41ff0-5c1d-4618-9270-04fc230ddcf0/4.png Skill-building Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f279eb2f2808d25cc0ce149/5783abe7-ba3f-47bd-b9f8-401011b099b9/5.png Skill-building Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f279eb2f2808d25cc0ce149/08efef94-2463-4b40-803e-78d8931741e3/IMG_1533.jpg Skill-building Workshops https://www.thechalkcrew.com/professional-development daily 0.75 2022-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f279eb2f2808d25cc0ce149/1606453255475-NPA5IJREEC8UW59MKMYP/logo_v1.png Professional Development - Professional Development: The CHALK Crew are passionate about literacy, communication and teacher development.
