As educators, one of our main goals is to prepare our learners for life beyond the classroom. As such, learning how to learn is a crucial skill for our learners to master if they are to become independent learners. What skills and strategies do independent learners need?

This seminar will look to define what is meant by Learning to Learn, as well as demonstrate strategies and activities to use in the classroom.

Upcoming webinars

Revise,  Repeat, and Recycle building strong language foundations in the pre-primary classroom

Very young children learn to communicate by participating in routinised, repeated interactions. This session will look at how teachers can create an environment rich in language and communication to support the expansion of learners' active vocabulary, develop their phonological awareness, and make connections between the spoken and written word. We will also explore the importance of revising concepts, repeating activities, and recycling language to build confidence and a strong foundation for future language learning.
