How to get our learners to (re)join the bandwagon: engaging your learners to “return to school”

In this session, Maria will help you identify reasons why learners resist and oppose restaging their lives past COVID and how to find solutions to overcome them together, as a team. 90 minutes; £50 per participant

The rule of thumb of teaching: the teacher is ALWAYS right; but are we?!

In this session, Maria will share stories from her almost 3 decades long teaching career that helped her learners overcome the challenges of learning (not just English) and how she prepared them for the challenges and life after school. 90 minutes; £50 per participant

Every teacher worth their salt will know how to… (or what to do when we draw a blank in the classroom)

As teachers, we are not infallible and we do not have to save face when we don’t remember how to spell “onomatopoeia” or the year of the Norman invasion.  Engaging our learners in the learning process and asking them to help out, will not lower their respect for us; on the contrary, will build the rapport that every teacher strives to obtain in the classroom.  Showing them that sometimes we don’t “know-it-all” will empower them to ask for help when they need it most so, they too are brave enough to want to help others in return. 90 minutes; £50 per participant
