Workshop 1: What Do We Really Want for the Children in our Care?
Nurturing Emotional Wellbeing, Motivation and Lifelong Learning
What qualities do we hope children will develop through their education?
Confidence? Curiosity? Empathy? Resilience? A love of learning?
This workshop invites teachers to reflect on the longer-term outcomes of education and explore how everyday classroom practices influence children's emotional development, relationships and intrinsic motivation.
We consider how to nurture cooperation, responsibility and a sense of belonging.
Key focus: Creating classrooms where children feel valued, connected and motivated to learn.
