Join The Learning Centre on a journey to explore, consider and reflect upon “Living and Learning” in schools.
The latest research points to the strong nexus between wellbeing and learning in ways that we all know and have experienced in our everyday lives - as captured in the adage– You can only learn as “well” as you are.
Join single sessions live or virtual, or sign up for the entire series, navigating your way through a consideration of teacher wellbeing and learning, and then onto student wellbeing and learning. Then consider the critical nature of teacher and student relationships to both wellbeing and learning and finally how the nexus of wellbeing and learning impacts on the future of education.
Why these speakers?
We have chosen a mix of experienced family and organisational psychologists, school leaders and university professors who are conducting current research in this area to invite us to consider “living and learning”.
What will participants get out of it?
- The chance to network, collaborate, meet new people and learn in a relaxing and inclusive environment – live or virtual
- Reflect on the crucial relationship between wellbeing and learning
- Consider the latest on teacher wellbeing and how to help yourself and your colleagues
- Ponder the teen years and how parents and schools can boost student wellbeing and learning
- Delve deeply into the importance of teacher/ student relationships
- Be challenged to imagine the schools of the future where wellbeing and learning flourish side by side
