Skills for primary schools: movement and co-ordination resources

Abstract

In this article we describe a small-scale project which focused on providing evidence-based resources for teachers and initial teacher training (ITT) students to support the movement and co-ordination development of primary-aged pupils in mainstream classrooms, thus building capacity in schools. The project developed a suite of resources which aimed to enhance quality first teaching skills in the early identification of children with movement and co-ordination difficulties and provided teachers and ITT students with a range of practical strategies, approaches and evidence-based research and literature. It was funded by an ITT Research and Development Award (SEN) from the Teaching Development Agency (TDA). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
