Recent neuropsychological research has shown the impact of stress and trauma on the child’s developing brain and the impact this can have on their learning and wellbeing. There is also evidence that indicates that building relationships with pupils in schools has a significant impact on their well being, availability for learning and benefits to the school community. In this course you will learn about how to develop positive relationships with pupils while understanding the challenges that they may be facing.
The Emotionally Connected Classroom comprises three study cycles, each of which includes a Study, Practice, Reflect, and Collaborate section, and associated practical tasks, with reference to current research and case studies.
First, in the Study sections, you will be guided through materials that will support your understanding of different aspects of The Emotionally Connected Classroom before moving onto the Practice section, where you will start to undertake activities to embed the more theoretical information into practical activities. From there, you will be prompted to reflect on your learning in practice before engaging in social learning (Collaborate).
Supported throughout by our team of experienced tutors, this practice-led course will help you to build your practical skills and enable you to create an effective relating classroom.
