In Celebration of The Week of the Young Child...

Project Commotion, in collaboration with The Literacy & Language Center, presents an intensive training for teachers, parents, students and professionals who work with children.

Moving through a Child’s Mind: Rediscovering How We See & Understand Children
A Weekend Seminar exploring Project Commotion’s Methodology
Saturday and Sunday, April 21 & 22, 2012


Join us for a full weekend of learning through movement, relationship-building, observation, and self-examination. If you have attended a PC workshop before, you know this will be an educational experience like no other! Parents, teachers, students, and professionals will benefit from this great opportunity to explore how we learn about ourselves and our environment, how to see children through a lens of brain development and sensory awareness, and how we can shift our understanding into practice in our daily lives with children.

_Curricula
Training segments will explore:
• Feldenkrais Awareness through Movement®
• Brain Development and Sensory Systems
• Building Relationships
• Midlines & Movement
• Sensory Approaches to Literacy
• Observations

Attendees will receive training materials and a certificate recognizing their participation in 10 hours of professional development.

- Participants should dress comfortably in clothes that allow for movement.
- Snacks and drinks will be provided on both days. We recommend that participants bring their own lunch for Sunday’s training.
