Please join us for a very interactive Roundtable on January 16th.
Researchers have found that no matter how intelligent or creative the students, or what type of learner they are, it is their inner world of feelings, thoughts and self-talk that ultimately determines how successfully they will learn. Emotion Focused Teaching is a road map for supporting students in a meaningful way - an approach that will help students reach their full potential socially, emotionally and intellectually, regardless of the challenges that they face.
In this talk, Dr. Rick Smith will discuss Emotion Focused Teaching, a science-based approach that helps teachers and parents support and enhance a student’s learning and address the difficult emotions of learning (i.e. frustration, boredom, anxiety, etc.) with a three-step method to build resilience, motivation and create a positive long-lasting effect in a student’s life. It is easy to learn and can be used by parents, care-givers and educators.
Participants of this talk will:
- Understand how emotions interact with intentions, attention, and learning
- Learn the three steps to best deal with the difficult emotions of learning and keep a student on track
- Learn how to create the right conditions for maximum motivation
- Preview strategies to help students contend with the difficult emotions of learning more effectively
This is suitable for educators and parents of children and adolescents, aged 8-18. Teachers will find it most useful.
This is an informal parent and educator support group meeting. We encourage you to come with questions and share your experiences. Feel free to invite your friends!
