About Monty Olding
My name is Monty, and I welcome you to Wired for Learning. Qualifying as a teacher in 2000 here in the UK, I was awarded funding to continue studying the impact of specific movements on concentration and time-on-task, as well as further funding to research how our sensory system biases influence cognitive function.
Using my experiences from the classroom, research, private clinic work and additional training in various educational fields, I began delivering inset training sessions in the UK and abroad. Having been familiar with Dr Carla Hannaford’s work for many years, I got excited by the idea of adapting her amazing work on dominance profiles into the everyday classroom and home environments. I was able to fully commit to this project in 2021, having had the privilege of connecting up and collaborating with Carla.
This is how the Wired for Learning programme came to be. Although I wish I could say everything here is all my ideas, they are not. I collect approaches, strategies and techniques that inspire me and demonstrate real-world results. Packed with elegant ideas, innovation, and practical approaches, Wired for Learning fundamentally puts the learner centre stage. The resources also aim to give teachers, parents and anybody responsible for the child’s education the insight and easy-to-apply tools to adapt their instruction so the teaching and learning environments match.
