Description

  • This course is available in: , , , ,

The national curriculum of all countries set heavy subjects and standards with long hours of classes for 9 months! Although, there are many active learning strategies out there teachers still struggling to keep “all” students engaged and interested in their classes, and students are becoming distanced and bored more and more! This course demonstrates how a happy and flexible environment increases the willingness to be in the classroom, how team-building activities help teachers and students to connect, and how a set of routines builds a sustainable positive culture in classes and schools. During this course, participants get involved when they put their first steps in the class through 12 games to get to know each other to experience the importance of short games and icebreakers. There are three sessions and two breaks each day. Each session starts and finishes along with different types of short games, for example, the “3-3-3 rule” to bring back the focus of participants to the class or “orange-apple-banana” to make them move. Through practical activities, participants gain more knowledge about the characteristics of a happy mindset and establishing routines led to joyful days. Meanwhile, teachers will practice the 4C’s of education to know and review these vital skills for success in school and beyond. By the end of the course, teachers will have plenty of mix-and-match tools to modify their lesson plans to happy lesson plans.
