It's all about the Teacher

It’s all about
The Teacher

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.

Classroom Management
That Works

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 self-control), 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.
ECD - Social Emotional Learning

Social Emotional
Learning

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

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.

Through the Eyes of the Student

In Brief

This topic draws on the vast experience of giants in education renewal, Michael Fullan, Zaretta Hammond, Sugata Mitra, Dylan Wiliam, Jenni Donohoo and John Hattie to name but a few.  It takes educators on an uncomfortable, but challenging journey to discover how they THINK about their impact, instead of focusing on what they DO. This requires schools to start a conversation about their Mind-Frames and theirs beliefs about learning in the world today. Delegates will be schooled in being able to diagnose, intervene, implement and evaluate their own impact. Let's debate the research of what strategies have the highest impact and how we can use them to visibly see the growth in all students.

Joyful 
Classrooms

In Brief

This brand new annual topic will empower ECD teachers and facilitators to navigate where the how meets the what of learning.  It will guide them to discover what happens when children like what they are learning and teachers know what they are doing.  We will take delegates into high-performing ECD environments around the world and show them how to adapt the models to work in their own schools. 

It is science-based, but practical and applicable in any ECD environment.
