CATCHING UP AFTER LOCKDOWN CPD WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
The Covid pandemic has hurt students’ learning, progress and development, especially during school closures. But the damage is not irreparable. As students return to school, educators are wondering how to help them catch up after such a difficult period. We believe the solution lies in combining teacher experience and expertise and psychological research.
This course, available either in person at your school or over the platform of your choice (Zoom, Microsoft Teams…), covers the best evidence-based strategies for the job. We’ll help you develop your students’ motivation and resilience, accelerate their learning and improve their emotional coping skills.
We’ll also encourage and facilitate discussions and debate to make sure that those strategies are best suited for your students specifically.
