Webinar Recording: Sensory Strategies for the Classroom

With Paediatric Exercise Physiologist & Developmental Educator, Robyn Papworth

Are your students or children shuffling on the mat, leaning on furniture, rolling around the floor, or easily distracted? In our modern screen time generation, children are missing out on critical sensory foundations, causing them to enter early learning settings and classrooms heightened, deregulated, and developmentally behind.

Quiet classrooms and static tabletop learning are unrealistic expectations that don't meet a child's developmental needs. This comprehensive 2 hour webinar recording reframes classroom behavior through an evidence based, sensory lens, teaching you how to build the vital foundations children need before they can focus on academics.

What You Will Learn

• The Power of Two Systems: Unpack the vestibular system (the body's GPS) and the proprioception system (understanding what the body is doing), and why they are the absolute foundations for literacy, reading, and letter formation.

• The Truth About Executive Functioning: Discover how simple physical challenges like hopscotch unlock the executive functioning and proximal development required for fine motor skills and handwriting.

• Educator Sensory Profiles: Recognize your own sensory profile and triggers (such as auditory overload) and learn how to implement quick, practical strategies to co-regulate alongside your students.

• The Biophilic Principle: Learn how integrating simple nature based design principles can lower blood pressure and actively drop a child's stress response.

• Modern Brain Breaks: Move away from outdated ideas and discover how to implement quick, intentional, 2 minute movement resets that fit realistically into your daily routine.
