This masterclass gives overall information to conductors, teachers, and other professionals in the educational and rehabilitation fields about implementing Conductive Education programs online. Is a possible and necessary next step during our own professional development and also a responsibility as we provide conductive services.

We can hear about those special tendencies we have observed in the last decade and how the conclusion led Move & Walk to organise a study in 2018 with the aim to explore the main characteristics of online conductive sessions.

We share our initial doubts and questions with you and answer them with a comparative analysis of some basic elements in Conductive Education. 

At the end of the masterclass we can hear colleagues who share their own experiences of their special teaching journey, how they felt at the beginning of starting their online conductive sessions.

Interview with some of our colleagues about their first experience with online conductive activities.

This masterclass offers a very special opportunity to learn how to develop a collection of digital competences for all those conductors and other professionals in the conductive education field whom are planning to start remote sessions in this space.

A film director who himself tried CE and has since then applied it to every aspect of his life as a lifestyle has collected and evaluated all his experience and now shares it with you.

The four different texts and one video summarize the most important guidelines that is needed for the understanding of the technical characteristics of the online sessions.

Texts

Minimizing technical errors

This masterclass turns to conductors, teachers and other professionals in the conductive field and explains the most important necessary steps before providing conductive services in digital form.

You can hear about the typical and atypical characteristics of both traditional and remote conductive activities concerning the known and unknown aspects such as location or home-colleagues.

You will receive concrete advice about how it is possible to transform the home into a motivating and safe learning enviroment.

There is a video too with some important thoughts about how to build the program in the best way in terms of time.

You also gain information about what kind of strong and mutual collaboration can be built with parents and assistants who facilitate during the program at home.

At the end of the masterclass you see colleagues who share their own thoughts of what kind of changes they needed to make, such as communication for a successful program in the home environment.

Videos

Differences between traditional and online planning
• Known and unknown environment
• Group or individual activity
• Different forms of activity

Adapting home environment into a learning setting
• Definition of home-professionals
• Finding the most appropriate place of the flat/house
• Constant and changing circumstances
• Creative equipment

Advanced time management
• The program can be sometimes longer/shorter
• The child is still at home
• ADL activities in a certain timeframe

New level of cooperation with home-professionals
• Common rules of collaboration
• Knowledge of the child – most important features
• Smart love – way of conductive life
• Guidance of home-facilitations
• Planning social interactions in advance
• New questioning techniques

Interview with some of our conductor colleagues about how they experienced the conductive session in the home environment.

This masterclass gives both theoretical knowledge and practical advice to conductors, pedagogues, and other professionals in the educational and rehabilitation field about implementing a special form of Conductive Education program: the interval sessions – online.

In the first video we look back at how this form evolved in the system of CondEd and also hear that at the time, interval sessions were also considered as pedagogical innovation.

In the following videos we summarize the most important official forms of administration with some concrete advice that worked well for us.

We also present a different scenario of group design when some group members are at the same place with the conductor and some of the participants join the program from their home.

We introduce a new practice of how to implement a very first meeting with a soon-to-be participant. You gain detailed guidance of the thoughtful and implemented solutions of the conductor.

In the last video of this masterclass we can see colleagues who share their thoughts on what was difficult and easy when leading online conductive sessions.

Videos

Strengths and weaknesses of interval forms
• Definition of the interval services
• Historical review: interval services was also once an innovation

Special preparation before digital forms
• Required administration in advance
• Convincing arguments for the authorities
• Certain cooperation with the family

Mixed group compositions in remote sessions
• What is behind the concept?
• Being flexible about online and traditional solutions
• Different aspects in comparison

First assessment experience online
• The circumstances leading to the situation
• Advanced observation skills needed
• Alternative solutions also required
• Is the goal achievable?

Interview with some of our colleagues about their special experience with interval online solutions.

This course presents practical advice to conductors, pedagogues, and other professionals in the educational field about how became possible to implement school lessons in the digital space.

In the first video we define conductive school and summarises all aspects about how to create an active daily routine with conductive philosophy and all required lessons regulated by the national curriculum and how it is still achievable even during online sessions.

In the following videos you can hear about different solutions and results our conductor-teachers tried and succeeded. They were able to transform the traditional classroom lectures into an effective online school when the students participated from their home environment.

We also share our experience about how our conductors organised and implemented task-series during remote session.

Different art lessons will be shown how a music teacher, an art and craft teacher changed their well-known techniques in the digital space and achieved satisfaction from all sides: students, families and colleagues.

We also give some advice about how to teach self-help skills in a creative way online.

In the last video of this masterclass we can see colleagues who share their thoughts on which type of school activity was easy to adapt to remote session and which one was not working as expected at the beginning and why?

First experiences of our colleagues about online school activities

This masterclass provides insight into the process how to increase the sense of belonging and participation in the society for adults who live with disabilities. 

All colleagues who work in the educational, medical or the social field can benefit of the information we summarize. 

We present our adult activity center that offers conductive programs for the participants who work with us. 

We point out that it is particularly important how Conductive Education appears in the lives of adults with special needs. 

There are videos in this course that share various adaptation solutions adults can benefit from. 

In the last film we can see colleagues who share their experience on why it is positive and valuable to work in a special adult activity center which combines all requirements of the authorities and the theory and practice of conductive education? They also share their thoughts on how it became possible and successful to connect their fellow colleagues online.
