Gordon Woolard Independent Specialist Teacher DipSpLD AMBDA PATOSS returns to Clare Education Centre to engage participants in these interactive workshops. Teachers consistently rate Gordon’s workshops as essential to their understanding of why a child struggles at school and on how to develop a child’s capacity for learning.
The exercises are formed so as to make-up-for and move-on the developmental struggles of individual children. They also improve the overall skill-level of a class and support concentration. Without any obligation, participants are invited to do the exercises and all will receive material on how to do them.
The workshops are suitable for SET Teachers, Class Teachers, Special Needs Assistants and Second Level Teachers. The course consists of a series of 5 one-day workshops.
It is not necessary to do the workshops in numerical order because you can catch-up at a later stage. Each workshop has wider content that links them together so that participants starting in mid-sequence have no difficulty and can gain fully from where they begin, on both diagnostic and remedial methods.Unfortunately, we are not in a position to offer substitute cover for theses workshops.
Stage 4 Releasing Stress
Partly as a need of the times and partly toward the aim of the next workshop, on focus and attention, this central theme in the lives of children, stress, has to be faced. Insights and practical methods drawn from the work of Rudolf Steiner, help to form a picture of what stress really is - as well as how to approach it. As in earlier workshops, the activities for children here include the primal early movements, essentially bringing rhythm.
Stage 5 Developing the Capacity for Attention
Through movement exercises designed to develop the inner dynamic of lift-carry-place, a range of activities is brought for the strengthening of attention. Out of the earliest actions of engagement in babyhood, develop the two polar opposite activities, of awareness and attention. The one works inward from the periphery while the other reaches out from the centre. Both are needed as a starting-point for learning in the school environment.
