All our inset modules and trainings can contribute towards CPD (Brainwise is a registered CPD Provider with the GTC).
We offer a balance between theory and practise to allow participants to understand the background to the programme and the practical reality of introducing it in the learning environment. 

Participants have the opportunity to explore Brain Gym ®:-

• As a preparation for learning at the beginning of the day, after breaks and intervals.
•  As Brain Breaks when children need to move or refocus during literacy and numarcy hour, double periods, wet playtimes.
• As Part of curricular work – integrating Brain Gym ® into Literacy, numeracy, PE.
• To develop Key physiological skills essential for effective learning Through the stages of a learning environment ie differentiation of movements from early years to older pupilsways of working in 1 to 1, small group or classAs part of a programme for learners with difficulties, guiding the learner towards developing the necessary connections to achieve the movements.

Individuals Personal Development

 I use Brain Gym ® every day to prepare myself for work in the morning. I complete a sequence of movements called PACE when I get up in the morning.I have noticed that I am more focused about work and my thinking is much clearer.I carry out Brain Gym ® when doing specific tasks. When reading I do Brain Buttons and Lazy 8’s before or during to develop my tracking and midline skills. I really enjoy doing Cooks Hook ups when worried or as an aid to thinking and I always feel more relaxed and centred after them.

I also use Brain Gym ® before and during trainings and workshops so I can remain centred and focused. I find it helpful in releasing any physical tensions experienced during the training. FinallyI integrate Brain Gym with my personal outcomes. I use the“balancing process” to incorporate the movements into a context where neurological switching can take place when thinking or exploring outcomes.It has been a great help in ensuring I can stay centred and focused and open to thinking around issues which may emerge from exploring and setting out on a new outcome or developing existing ones
