Embodied Learning Self Study course

Why do you need this course I hear you say?

This course is transformational - change your teaching style with Embodied Learning

Ever feel like your students' understanding gets lost in translation? This isn't just another professional learning course. It's a journey into the heart of how we learn, communicate, and connect.

The SSERC Embodied Learning Self-Study Course challenges you to look beyond words and rethink what "knowing" truly means. Based on cutting-edge international research in Embodied Learning, you'll discover the power of gesture and movement as a window into a child's understanding.

What you'll gain:

Become a more critically reflective practitioner.

Question key ideas in education like "knowledge" and "communication."

Unlock new pedagogical approaches.

Learn to recognize and communicate with students in ways beyond just words.

Get practical, actionable strategies.

Implement new ideas and resources in your classroom immediately.

This course is focused on a different kind of inclusivity—one that values every learner's sensory and movement experiences.
