The last of 3 programmes exploring the work of educational researchers aiming to improve teacher training by developing projects relevant to Special Educational Needs. Three research projects focus on different aspects of movement and learning. The first project, based at Canterbury Christ Church University, looks into the importance of good posture and its impact on learning. It involves a partnership between teacher educators and occupational therapists. The second project stems from work at the University of Warwick which is exploring handwriting and its links with cognitive development. The research aims to be the first step towards designing an efficient screening mechanism for handwriting problems. The final research project, based at Anglia Ruskin University, looks into the best way to teach movement education. It explores how to develop teacher trainees' ability to use movement to identify, assess and address children's holistic learning needs.
