Why come?
Age-appropriate development of gross motor skills is essential for the overall development of children and has a huge impact on their well-being. The MRT programme was developed in the Netherlands and is unique in the world.
This one-day course equips attendees with the skills to set up and run an MRT (Motor Remedial Teaching) programme. The training focuses on screening and testing students; organising small MRT groups with individual attention and programme developed for each student; evaluating the results of the training and playground activities. This workshop is limited to 20 participants to ensure that all attendees get the tools to support students with gross motor skills delays. There will be a possibility to continue with the course online (e.g. carry out/complete the action plan). Students gain a lot of self-confidence from the programme.
The target audience is Physical Education Teachers and the course is held in English & Dutch for the first time!
This workshop is held in DUTCH. You can register here for the English workshop.
