This face- to-face workshop will focus on gross motor development – here’s what, so what, now what?
The morning session presented by Lewina Schrale and Tanikah Ferguson (Paediatric Physiotherapists) provides practical knowledge and information about key developmental gross motor markers and builds on information provided in the Canvas Gross Motor Development 2-5 Years Training Package for Educators. Participants are encouraged to have started this course prior to this workshop. Link: https://pli.education.tas.gov.au/program/gross-motor-development-2-5-years-a-training-package-for-educators/
The afternoon session will provide the opportunity for you to use this information to further explore the pedagogy and planning of your gross motor program.
