Behaviour for learning

 
 

workshop overview

How do we create students who are capable, independent learners?

How do we help students to understand the process of learning and become resilient against failure?

Fostering efficacy, self-regulation and a positive mindset ensures that students are making great progress and engaging with lessons in a constructive, focused way.

Empowering students to understand themselves as thinkers and learners is essential, and this session will help teachers to explore different ways that they can utilise metacognitive approaches in order to develop these behaviours and cultivate intrinsic motivation.

Drawing on current theories from behavioural and cognitive science, we will investigate pedagogies that can promote high quality teaching and learning and ensure excellent outcomes for students.
