Masterclass 3:
The Sensory Child & Classroom
Harnessing the sensory system to get the most out of every child
The sensory system in young children is a powerful mechanism to bring learning to life. By understanding how and why children filter and process sensory information, you can tailor the environment and ensure that you are making the biggest impact on each little one’s ability to learn and master the lessons you are offering them.
This ground-breaking Masterclass is presented by OT, author and early years expert, Meg Faure. Meg has lectured extensively about sensory processing and sensory integration to OTs and teachers, nationally and internationally. Her lifelong work in the ‘senses’ make for meaningful and insightful learning into the subject that ill empower you to refine and improve your teaching skills.
Here’s more of what is in store:
- Learn how to identify different sensory personalities in your classroom, as well as your own to bolster the relationship you have with each child.
- Understand the classroom as the ‘third teacher’ to maximise the positive impact of the environment on learning.
- Get practical guidance for adapting your lesson plans and teaching style to engage each child.
The sensory system is probably one of the most underutilised tools in ECD. By acknowledging that young children learn primarily through their senses and adapting to those sensory needs, we are part of a powerful paradigm shift in early education.
