These will run from our Teacher Training Centre at Overstrand Hall - one of England's finest country houses, on the unspoilt North Norfolk Coast. The four new courses are split between Accelerated Learning and Mind Mapping techniques - which explore the psychology of learning and optimum study techniques - and practical guides in the areas of risk assessment and elements of the ICT curriculum.
An invaluable insight into introducing basic control and multi-media techniques to pupils. We will take you through digital animation using Adobe Flash, control technology using Lego RoboLab, web design and authoring techniques, interactive storyboarding and multi-software skills, using Site Central web design software and our favourite music mixing programme, Dance Ejay. An ideal opportunity to view our hi-tec Dell furnished labs and sample our range of ICT modules.
An engaging and interactive programme in the basic principles of Accelerated Learning. Our course ventures into such intriguing territories as natural memory rhythms, mind mapping, different learning styles and multiple intelligences, then makes suggestions for the application of accelerated learning in the classroom. Available as a 3-hour 'Twilight Session', half day or full day programme.
It is Kingswood's business to work closely alongside LEAs and to meet the guidelines of the DfES in the organisation of school trips. This one day course will take you through the minefield of risk assessments: how to identify risks, assess all the possible outcomes and how to factor these risks into your planning. It also covers advance planning considerations, pre-trip visits and supervision methods.
This one day course will enrich teachers with the relevant skills and support material to teach the Goal Mapping Technique to children of all ages. A powerful combination of goal setting principles, the flexibility of mind mapping and the subconscious impact of accelerated learning.
