….Experiences of undertaking an Masters in Conductive Education Jules McDonald

Background The Conductive College and Birmingham City University MA in Conductive Education and MA in Special Education https://conductive- education.org.uk/training/post-graduate- and-masters-training/

Why???? Often asked… Initial ‘toe in the water’ with Practice Tutor Module The opportunity was there…. Wanted CPD in CE for as long as I can remember! Can do at my own pace, fit around work No good time to start Say yes, then work out how!

My Modules The transformative special needs teacher (run by Conductive College) Master’s Level Research (run by BCU) Dynamic Model of Supervision in Special Education (run by Conductive College) Dissertation – in your own chosen topic relating to CE (supervised by Conductive College staff)

Practice Tutor Module 1st module Prerequisite for our centre to host and support CE students in their training. Meet and spend time with others in similar roles and reflect on working lives Re-examined our CE practice in the setting (through the eyes of the students) Even without the students was extremely useful professional development for Lead Conductor Recommend even if don’t have CE students in setting

The transformative pedagogue What was it about? A chance to re-examine the theoretical backdrop of Conductive Education Looked at much wider, modern social and educational paradigms Gave a great depth to the understanding of CE in a modern academic sense Very beneficial for articulating CE to others in different fields, roles etc.. In a more current and accessible way.

Research Methods in Education Was dreading this one! Was difficult as is a complex area Gain updated understanding of the complexity of modern educational research (again lots has changed since training) Now know how many options we could make use of in researching CE now that allow for the complexity and depth of CE to be examined The assignment is essentially your research proposal for dissertation. …… and the dissertation now awaits….!

What have I gained? More than ‘just’ the qualifications Given myself time for MY CPD Such deep exploration and furthering understanding Step back and observe differently Step back and self-reflect differently New, updated and different ways to articulate CE Don’t have to do it all but can’t recommend strongly enough to do at least one!!
