Colin says: ‘Instinctively from an early age I was against children being sent away to boarding schools and later to special schools and settings. Later I was inspired by disabled activists and Canadian and North American inclusionists who were working to change the world of education with radical innovative thinking and approaches - the work was political, social and spiritual - I was in and never looked back!’ Colin’s career has been values driven, but also practical using applied psychology in training and real life problem solving with schools, families and individual children and young people.

Any Teacher, Psychologist or Educator who wishes to understand the learning processes of children or adults Course Content Fun, engagement and interest are key ingredients of the the most memorable learning. Imitation - (Bandura) Social learning theory- we can assume that 80%of learning is done by imitating others around us in the social world. We are particularly drawn learning from our peers as well as significant role models and key adults in our lives. We copy each other. Learning takes place In meaningful contexts. (Bruner argued that you cannot strip learning of its content, nor study it in a ‘neutral’ context. It is always situated, always related to some ongoing enterprise. Learning and motivation to learn can be sparked or inspired by people around us including teachers but not only them. Structured steps help to facilitate and scaffold learning in most children and adults. With person centred encouragement eg a focus on interests and passions - individuals are more likely to learn effectively. This also ensures motivation and ‘buy in’ from the learner. The ultimate goals for teachers is to nurture self-efficacy and confidence in learners to the point whereby they can set their own goals
