Learn more about Body to Brain Learning^®  Professional Development Series: 

What is Body to Brain Learning^TM? 

Basically, it’s a functional and developmental approach to learning.  Our body needs to function well and be developmentally mature (at the appropriate life stage) for us to learn well. 

The Body to Brain Learning^TM Professional Development Series teaches you about what to look for and how to use this information and approach in your learning based practice. 

Body to Brain Learning^TM  focusses on providing professional learning to help participants apply theory in practice. It enables them to contextualize the information and use it in their work, in their schools.

Designed to increase participants understanding and use of principles and concepts of neuro-development, neuro-plasticity and neuroscience in their work supporting and enhancing learning, the Body to Brain Learning^TM Professional Development Series draws together information from neurobiology and developmental theory, education, neuro-cognitive science, professional learning and the Australian Learning context.

Teacher’s professional learning opportunities include ways to implement the Australian Curriculum, make reference to NCCD reporting responsibilities, incorporate and identify connections with the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers and support continuing professional development across Australia. Our programmes are practical and action-based and designed to help apply theory in practice.

We offer online and mixed-mode professional learning opportunities for educators, allied health and health care professionals with a focus on why the body to brain learning^TM connection is important for supporting ALL learning. We offer a neuro-motor and sensory development perspective. 

Resources are made available to participants including checklists, posters and notes, to help them identify physical and learning indicators of neuro-motor and sensory immaturity known to contribute to learning challenges.  Participants are offered practical ways to implement this information in their work.

The “Body to Brain Learning^TM” Professional Learning Series include: 

 

“The Body Writes & Tells the Learning Story:  An Introductory Course.”  A short one hour course: Why this is important for understanding learning and how we learn.
	“First Moves Matter for Learning.”  A Professional Learning opportunity for Early Years Educators and Professionals

	“Body to Brain Learning @ School”. A Schools approach including connections with the Australian school context including the Australian Curriculum and meeting the needs of diverse learners.  Mentoring and coaching forms part of this school based professional learning approach.
