Engaging the 21st Century Learner

Session 1 Shift Happens ….

The changing face of education – This session explores how and why our attitudes to and underlying beliefs about the concept of truth, the perspective of the future, approaches to communication, assumptions about respect and the notions of risk and danger can affect the way we think about education and how we approach learners.

Session 2 The Shape of Things to Come

What are the major trends that will influence education in the future? How will today's teachers need to adapt and what will they need to know in order to be effective educators for the students that they will encounter in the next five to ten years?

Session 3 21^st Century Teaching and Learning

Three of the seven standards from The National Professional Standards for Teachers at the Proficient Level include areas where the focus is centered on the meaningful engagement of students. In this session we explore strategies to help teachers engage students in a way that will promote successful learning outcomes for each student. We look at the common myths about engaging students and discover the keys for engaging the learners of today and tomorrow?

Session 4 Navigating the Generational Maze

Why does a Baby Boomer, a Gen X person and a Gen Y person view the world so differently and how does this impact on their experience of learning? Learn why an understanding of the generational trends can play such an important role in helping us become effective teachers and communicators.
