About the webinar
This webinar will explore the modern approaches of managing lessons through social and emotional learning, soft skills and positive discipline, and avoiding the distractions of technology. We will look at how emotions relate to behaviour and learning; how developing leadership and routines in class can help; how teachers can use practical approaches such as co-created classroom expectations to move from punishment to a more positive way of managing learning; and how we can focus learners to use their devices intentionally.
