The postcard is a very useful and attractive handout for presentations. There are two versions here: one is for schools and the other for general use. Be sure to also download the file that is the reverse side of the postcard (this is the same for both versions). The cards are designed to be printed at A6 size, double sided.

Educare Movement Circle

All the movements from Educare Movement Circle demonstrated by Sue Merry. Refer to the book "Alexander in Primary Education" by Sue Merry for more information on many of the movements.

Useful Movements With Direction

A series of videos from Judith Kleinman demonstrating some of the movements that she teaches on the Developing Self Education Training Course. See the course materials for more information.

How to Draw a Simple Labyrinth

Sue Merry has created a system for teaching the Alexander Technique in Primary Education. She has discovered that using labyrinths on their own, and also combined with "Lazy 8" shapes (Lazy Labyrinths), helps children to integrate the principles of Alexander work into writing and drawing skills. 

Lazy Labyrinths

At Educare Small School we use a unique activity, devised by Sue Merry, called Lazy Labyrinths.  This video gives an overview of what Lazy Labyrinths are and why we use them.  It includes a demonstration that will teach you how to work with Lazy Labyrinths.

Stories for Children Aged 3 and Up

Mr.Jackson stories are a feature of Educare Small School. Sue uses them to help reinforce AT principles, in the form of The Ready List.

The stories have a particular structure that is very familiar to Educare Children.

Sue made one video a week during the period of time in 2020 when the school building was closed.

This video is very unpolished but fun!

Later ones are a little more refined!

The Little School and Irene Tasker

The Alexander Times was the journal created and produced by the pupils of the Little School, the first school for children based on the principles of the Alexander Technique.
 

 Irene Tasker: Her Life and Work with the Alexander Technique by Regina Stratil 

 Irene Tasker was one of the first people in Britain to train in the Montessori method in 1913. After becoming Alexander’s apprentice in 1917, she worked with him for the next 17 years and assisted with the editing of three of Alexander’s books. She pioneered the Alexander Technique in education when she set up a school for children in 1924, in London, based on the principles of the Alexander Technique.

Moving into Kindness

We are teaching our children that sitting down for long periods of time is a necessary preparation for adult life. This is especially true of schools, where children are expected to sit for an average of five to six hours a day. What is this doing to the developing body and what is this doing to our children's mental health?

Find out more about how we address these issues at Educare Small School by watching this interview with the founder and headteacher Elizabeth Steinthal.
