COURSE DESCRIPTION

Foster collaboration in your classroom

Due to fast-changing technology of 21st century, many young people became isolated and detached from their surroundings. Therefore, we designed this Erasmus+ KA1 course for teachers who feel that it’s time to restore connections between their students and raise awareness about their mental health. Teamwork promotes a learner’s performance, creates stronger social networks between students and increases understanding of diverse perspectives, which is, by all means, a great reason to encourage it in the classroom. Our accomplished Erasmus teacher trainers and psychology specialists will help you upgrade and enrich your teaching practice with collaborative activities that can also prevent early school leaving.

Encourage successful group dynamics & focus on well-being

We will put emphasis on well-being in the classroom, which you can achieve by enhancing group cohesion—a cornerstone of successful teaching. Mindfulness and stress management are essential components of this approach, helping students and teachers alike to stay present, focused, and emotionally balanced. Diversity and inclusion are crucial elements of teamwork, and for this reason, we will teach you how to create a happy classroom where diversity is celebrated, students are actively engaged, and the environment is inviting and comfortable. People are social beings, which is why it’s important to work on empathy, foster strong bonds, and cultivate a sense of belonging that extends beyond the classroom. By integrating mindfulness practices and addressing stress, we can create a supportive atmosphere that reduces early school leaving, keeping students in school, satisfied, and fulfilled.

Boost student’s motivation and confidence

We will engage in exercises that will foster a dynamic classroom where students are concentrated, engaged and relaxed. In summary, we will work on motivating lesson plans that include teamwork, integration & active listening. The focus is on mental health and well-being in the classroom where both the teacher and his/her students have a strong sense of belonging, empathy and group dynamics. We will teach you how to achieve this through presentation of healthy competition, conflict prevention, resolution and finally, confidence boost.
