POSITIVE EDUCATION FOR BEGINNERS
SATURDAY 29 APRIL, 2023 | 11:00-11:50 (UK TIME)
POSITIVE EDUCATION FOR BEGINNERS
Negative feelings and demotivation are a daily part of our classroom lives... Positive Education is not simply a bunch of theories asking people to “feel great against adversity” but a thoroughly scientific, long-implemented educational framework through the application of which teachers and students can flourish and find encouragement when they feel stuck or demotivated. The speaker will provide the reason behind using Positive Education in ELT, demonstrate diverse activities and show that PosEd is something caught and not taught!
