Primary Movement

2011-09-12T16:39:51.318Z

Primary Movement is a unique movement programme which works on the central nervous system. Research studies have shown that it has a significant impact on the educational attainments of children with specific learning difficulties.

A number of primary teachers have expressed an interest in training in primary movement for use in their classroom and there is now an opportunity to facilitate this training through Co Wexford Education Centre. Training is provided through Primary Movement Organisation. This is a non-profit making charitable organization. Only fully qualified teachers may participate in the training.

Training takes place over 3 school days, 10am to 3.30pm daily. There is no sub cover. Cost to the school will be approximately €500. A minimum of 15 teachers are required for the training to proceed.

If your school is interested in having a teacher trained in Primary Movement please contact Co Wexford Education Centre to register your interest. Training will take place in Autumn 2012.

Incredible Years

2011-09-12T16:36:56.422Z

The Incredible Years Teacher Training Programme is aimed at teachers of primary school students aged 4-8 years. It is a research-based programme developed by Dr. Carolyn Webster-Stratton at the university of Washington. It aims to improve children's competence, emotional regulation and problem-solving skills and reduce their behavior problems.
The objective of the programme is to provide teachers with effective classroom management strategies for managing misbehavior, for promoting positive relationships with difficult students and for strengthening social skills in the classroom.
Course participants will learn these strategies by watching short videos of teachers handling problem situations both effectively and ineffectively. In addition to learning new strategies, the programme will support teachers in implementing the new strategies in their classrooms and in setting up individualised programmes.
