I am currently trying to write a dissertation for my BA on how the NC can be integrated into the CE programme but am struggling to find any up to date literature. If anybody can give me any help with this I would be extremely grateful.
Finding literature on Conductive Education is not easy and material on specific areas within that is even harder. The National Library of Conductive Education aims to collect everything possible on the subject and is open to all. If you have not already contacted me, gill@nice.ac.uk please do so and we can arrange a visit. I am always pleased to find out about new material so do let me know if you find anything that you think I might not have.
Short of the materials produced for centres' own internal purposes, there is no specific published literature on CE and what in England is called the National Curriculum.
This is part of the persisteng general fault of CE as a whole as it has 'internationalised' around the world: there is very little published literature (in the usual professional/academic sense of the word), on any aspect of its practice.
To find anything of any use to you as far as the National Curriculaum is concerned, you will have to approach direct those very few centres that have actually confronted the problem at school age and ask the to help you by sharing or discussing their own materials.
Luckily for yourpurposes this does not amount to a alrge number:
- two schools, Horton Lodge and Craig-y-parc
- the Childrern's Services National Institute of Conductive Education
- Horsey Centre and PACE
- the school service within PACES
That makes it six. There are possibly more and I am always happy to be corrected. I know, for examole that there is now a scattering of special schools where individual conductors work and spead hir favours across, though is no< I suspect, what you are asking.
Yhen there are the Dynamite Project and ACE, but agin these are not I suspect what you are asking,. neither are the varoius private arrangements that parents make for conductors to coconnect with nor in some othe ay work in their childen's schools.
I do hope this helps. Do let us know if you do identify a relevant and practical literature on your travels, and do remind the people who may share this with you that could think of their wider responsibility to share it with everyone.
Thank you for your replies, Gill, I spent a day at NICE looking at previous dissertations and must thank you again for all your help on that occasion.
Andrew, thank you for your comments. I am currently working as a volunteer at PACE and am receiving considerable support from them. I would be extremely grateful for any support you can give me over the next few months and am sure that I will be contacting you during my research. As you say, there is very little that has been published recently and I am concerned that the information I am using may be out of date.
