Course programme

Year One

In your first year you'll gain the basic background understanding of the philosophy and methodology of Conductive Education, and start to learn about neurological movement disorders and begin to understand how these impact on the lives of children and adults.

Alongside this theoretical knowledge, you'll begin the process of developing a range of professional skills all leading to teaching children/adults how to develop skills including movement, confidence, understanding and communication.

Modules
  • Observation for directing active learning
  • Developing professional skills through active learning
  • CNS disorder and symptomatology
  • Principles of Conductive Pedagogy
  • Conductive facilitation for learning
  • Motor learning and Conductive Education
Year Two

In Year two, theory and practical skills will start to merge – and we’ll expect you to plan and lead programmes and sessions for either children or adults, under the supervision of a qualified conductor.

You will also start to learn about carrying out research and begin to investigate theoretical concepts in the light of practical experience and knowledge.

Modules
  • Conductive Pedagogy: analysis and development of learning
  • The impact of motor disorders on learning in childhood and adulthood
  • Learning theories for conduction
  • Practice-based learning: analysing effective teaching and learning styles
  • The social basis for learning
  • Research Methods
Year Three

In Year three, it's all about having increased responsibility in conductive groups under distant supervision from a conductor.

You'll extend your knowledge and understanding of motor disorders, conductive practice and the work of the professionals in the field. These theoretical concepts will be fused into practical application and you will undertake an independent piece of research.

Modules
  • Conductive Pedagogy: evaluation and application
  • Education Research Project
  • Application of Conductive Education
  • Practice based learning: evaluating learning
  • Effective teaching: developing professional skills in Conductive Education
