This is a practical course suitable for all Early Years Practitioners and Primary Schools Teachers. Learn how to develop the essential movement patterns that all children should experience to develop their brains, thus creating the foundation for all learning. Ideal for all Early Years settings,primary schools, community groups and especially young parents. Learn to engage the child in a range of fun, playful and creative floor based activities.
This new knowledge is based on the most recent discoveries in neuro-science. Creating new neurological connections in the brain gives the child secure foundations for all movement and learning. It gives many children a chance to ‘catch up’ with their peers physically, emotionally and cognitively and fulfil their potential.
A recent study by a physiotherapist in Derby City on 700, 7 year olds found that 83% failed to show 'milestones' for their age. (milestones = a set of functional skills or age-specific tasks that most children can do at a certain age range.)
Although these skills are different and the mastery of one does not guarantee a similar mastery of another at the same stage, the importance of gaining an understanding of all seven senses, especially balance and proprioception will ensure children develop normally.
If Developmental Movement is not addressed at this point it will limit future potential learning.
At Captain's Close Primary School in Leicestershire where the eEMP intervention has been used for the last two years, the progress of children in Foundation has been monitored closely. Children have shown significant improvements in academic ability, behaviour and physical prowess. The average EYFS scores for Physical development have increased from 3.2 to 4.2 and some individuals have made dramatic improvements form 1 to 7 and 8 by the end of the year.
"The course was extremely thought provoking and inspiring. Teachers signed up for the course because they were aware of physical development issues with a number of children in their school – they left the course with simple but effective methods of how to address their children's needs and a desire to implement the eEMP Award as soon as possible." Colette Maynard. PE Adviser, Worcestershire
"Excellent award, would recommend to anyone working with children in early years" Nick Robb, PDM Nottingham City, (North)
"The course has re-kindled my belief that many learning difficulties have underlying physical causes and has confirmed my own observations that these problems are shockingly on the increase! Action is needed! Thanks for an inspiring day." Delegate eEMP Award Nottingham
"Met my expectations fully and excellent feedback from all of my schools". Extended Schools Coordinator
