School Incursions
Embodied Practice in the classroom
Whether you are after a unit that aligns with the Victorian Curriculum F-10 or you would simply like some effective embodied activities for classroom management, wellbeing or creative inspiration we have strategies and techniques that can support your needs.
Speak with us about how we can develop a specific incursion for your school that meets your current context. We offer in-house incursions that we facilitate with students and teachers as well as in-house professional development sessions for teachers.
We can work collaboratively with your teaching teams to embed embodied practices into the curriculum and align this work with the learning areas and capabilities of the Victorian Curriculum F-10.
Emotional Wellbeing, Intelligence & Empathy Unit
Key to developing a positive climate for learning is recognising that school communities need to consciously and actively develop individual and community emotional intelligence and empathy through social and emotional learning (SEL). Growing emotional intelligence and empathy are core life skills that can be achieved through an embodied education approach. We have a ready-made 7-week Emotional Intelligence & Empathy Unit that can be integrated into your current curriculum.
