Roadmap to Success

Roadmap to Success

Suitable for: ECD - Grade R

In Brief

In this hands on topic, we take ECD educators and facilitators on a journey in designing and delivering the 6C’s from Novice to Expert moving along from bottom to the top of the grid. This Roadmap to Success has been designed using the latest science to show how the Six C’s Key Skills operate like a rain forest helping all children to become thinkers and entrepreneurs.
Mindful Optimism
It's all about the Teacher

It’s all about The Teacher

Suitable for: Grade 00 - 12

In Brief

The difference between schools that thrive and schools that wilt during this season of rapid change depends on the ability to make the necessary changes. Change is hard, but essential. It requires both. comfort and capacity. Most schools are deficient in innovation DNA. By empowering the teacher to make and implement changes, schools will not only survive, but thrive in the 21st century.

Stress Free Classrooms

Stress Free Classrooms

Suitable for: Grade 00 - 12

In Brief

If happiness is essential for our wellbeing, then educators need to learn how to rewire the brain to make happiness stick, and not focus on negativity.

When optimism is combined with mindfulness based instruction (MBI) and stress and anxiety is reduced, the results have the same positive effect, and is on par with treatment that is carried out in a therapeutic environment. Schools need to move towards a stress free environment.

Topic - Classroom Management That Works

Classroom Management That Works

Suitable for: Grade 00 - 12

In Brief

Teaching is building. We are constructing competent, confident, capable, calm adult characters who will add value as citizens in society. The process of the construction is both an art and a science. In classroom management that works, the goal is to develop the three executive functions of Inhibitory Control (managing time, priorities and selfcontrol), Cognitive flexibility (the ability to think deeply on a range of topics and see different problem-solving perspectives) and Working Memory (the capacity to draw on previous knowledge and massage it with new incoming information to grow different memories). We achieve this through practical methodologies and approaches to ensure the classroom is transformed into an optimum learning environment.

Topic - Nurturing Emotional Intelligence

Nurturing Emotional Intelligence

Suitable for: Grade 00 - 12

In Brief

There are no good feelings or bad feelings. Emotions are just data. This data dramatically affects the way humans respond. When teachers are trained in Emotional Intelligence (Ei) and embed the knowledge in every subject, students soon learn the power of recognising emotions, giving them a name, mastering the art of regulating the effect it has on their lives and using emotions to improve their own and others’ wellbeing.

Topic - Growing Gritty Minds

Growing Gritty Minds

Suitable for: Grade 00 - 12

In Brief

Goethe said, “Everything is hard before it is easy!” That quote seems to sum up the reality that the human brain is hardwired for struggle and when teachers allow students to fail and try again, mastery is achieved as a result of a combination of passion and resilience. In an age where parents try to make the road to success smooth, students are losing out on an essential ingredient in their success sojourn - GRIT. The package takes educators on a journey into mindsets, the power of choice, the role of relationships, and the damage caused by anxiety when failure isn’t encouraged as a lifeskill.
