Elevate Wellbeing, with Gillian Moore
In this episode we delve into the new suite of courses, called Elevate, on Early Childhood Ireland’s Learning Hub. Most of our members are aware of this wonderful member benefit. Using the Learning Hub to support staff training can save members substantial amounts of money, as all the courses are free to members and their staff (apart from a nominal fee to cover some practical aspects of some courses). On the Hub there is a vast array of courses in the Compliance Space. These range from Health and Safety courses to Computer skills and personal development courses. Earlier this year we launched the Pedagogy Space, which currently hosts This is Me and Kids Active, and there are plans for more great content to be added there soon. We recently added 12 more courses to Early Childhood Ireland’s Learning Hub, called Elevate. These courses on this tab are on the theme of wellbeing. We discuss why it is important to be aware of ones own wellbeing as well as that of staff.
