Are you a teacher, occupational therapist, psychologist or other professional interested in students with learning and behavioural challenges? If so, you may be interested in further training to have a broader understanding of the relationship between a child’s early development and learning so they can fully engage in their educational experience. 

The Extra Lesson® Training Course is based on The Extra Lesson, which was developed by Audrey McAllen in England from the holistic developmental perspective of Rudolf Steiner’s education of the child.

The full practitioner course is at a post-graduate level and so a pre-requisite is a degree, unless a person is able to show they have the equivalent prior learning to a degree. 

The course is predominantly distance-run and spans 6 consecutive semesters. It involves two intensive workshops a year with private study and practical work with children throughout each semester. The modules are made up of a range of topics which are cumulative and progressive, to build the theory and practical application. The modules are not taught as separate units but are covered over several workshops.

Seeking Final Expressions of Interest for the Second Intake

The Extra Lesson Practitioner Training commenced on 8 January, 2020, and we are offering those still interested in joining this training, the opportunity to do so through an online repeat of the first Workshop Intensive. This online opportunity has arisen due to travel restrictions at this time of COVID-19.

The commencement date for the 2nd Intake is Saturday 4 July 2020.

Final Expressions of Interest are invited.

Further workshop dates are still to be decided and will be advised closer to the commencement of the course, should it go ahead.
