Basic modules’ description: -
HOW TO BECOME A NEW TEACHER?
Since you are already in the educational domain, chances are that you are already trying to work by projects, apply inter-age groups and techniques, gamification and every other concept in the field… These new approaches / techniques help you be more creative, indeed… but… is that all about creativity? Is creativity a technique? In this workshop we’ll focus on creativity as a “HOW”, rather than as a “WHAT”, because how to make it happen makes the difference. -
STOP TALKING ABOUT EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND START APPLYING IT
Most likely, you have heard a lot about Emotional Intelligence (EI) and yet it may seem to you either as a foreign concept, or else like a slogan that no one tells you how to put in place. In this workshop, you will be invited to use emotional intelligence, strategize with it, model student – teacher interactions and find ways to boost your intrapersonal and interpersonal strengths as well as ways to work on your weaker sides. Are you up for it?

TURN YOUR TEACHING STYLE INTO A MOTIVATING STUDENT-CENTERED ONE
If you’d ask anybody if their system, school, or classroom was student-centred they would say: “yes, how could it be otherwise?” But the fact is that a student-centred school or system would be quite different from what we most often experience in our schools and high schools… a student-centred system or classroom focuses on all that which fosters student-teacher bonding. This, as we know, results in greater teacher and student motivation, efficacy, and what is more important; happiness! -
TRANSFORM YOUR CLASS MANAGEMENT APPROACH AND SKILLS
This workshop wants to offer you a new approach that aims at fostering your and your students’ well-being; so, meditation and mindfulness will be part of it. We will also show you the importance of resorting to a process-centred approach that takes some pressure out of our goal-oriented system. This workshop will encourage you to look at the invisible in each one of your students and in yourself as a teacher… teachers go through a lot which they hardly ever get the time to process… unless they learn how to do it on the spot.
