Description:
Classrooms are a very unique and organic environment, and to ensure the best outcomes for teachers and learners, we need to create the right surroundings for learning. To do this, we often need to go below the surface, and look for balance and calm. We can aim to create an oasis of growth – a classroom where therapeutic techniques are seamlessly integrated into the teaching process.
What do we need to set off on such a positive transformation journey, and to rock it? The secret is not rocket science; but neuroscience, with a good dose of cognitive, behavioural, neurolinguistic, metacognitive and mindful ingredients, blended into a formula, all sprinkled with love and passion. But as teachers, how can we incorporate these psychological and therapeutic ideas in our own lessons?
In this webinar, Anna Machura will cover all these aspects in more detail, and offer practical and proven therapeutic strategies and techniques. Her goal: to help you create a feel-good lesson by design and to encourage you to embrace emotional and mental wellness in class.
