DESCRIPTION

This course aims at providing the necessary tools for students, parents and teachers to create a motivating environment in their daily practice. Enhancing everyone’s creativity, curiosity, engagement and fun will generate a warm atmosphere at school where every single individual will feel welcome. To do so, the tutor will concentrate on teachers’ creativity and motivation by exploring together with the participants a great variety of up-to-date inspirational techniques to develop strategical lesson plans. All of the stages involved in teaching will be covered: from class management, through class preparation and delivery, assessing, organisational school tasks to parent-teacher communication. Different activities will be provided in order to understand the way peers relate and interact in order to improve their relationships. The tutor will also provide multiple resources to develop an efficient gamified practice which will generate a school filled with attention, acceptance, appreciation and affection, a school that embraces and allows every person to be their real selves. We will literally play around, research and assess our own roles aiming at making our classrooms an even more enjoyable, stimulating place.
