Getting off to a good start with your students matters. This course explores how the brain works and students’ learning strengths. It outlines practical ways that teachers can make every class a ‘learning to learn’ class, where students can practise strategies that enable them to study more effectively and ‘own’ their learning.
This course spans a wide range of learners. It highlights how to identify, recognise, understand and support the gifted learner, the underachieving gifted learner and the twice-exceptional (2e) learner, a student with a gift and a disability. Each chapter contains a ‘how to help’ section for parents and teachers (see attached flyer for further information).
This course is suitable for Teachers (upper primary and second-level), Guidance Counsellors, Study Skills Co-ordinators, Parents.
This webinar will yield immediate benefits for teachers and parents in their busy lives too!
