How our children learn - a course that
provides an insight into the world of learning from a child's perspective. Why
is it that some people learn better in a noisy, unstructured environment and
other need complete peace and quiet? Why is it that some people can grasp
numbers better than words? And some prefer to write their thoughts down, whilst
others paint, draw and act? This course provides an insight into the world of learning
and provides a taste of the learning experience for us too. This taster suitable
for all people who support children with their learning.
