Join us in Berlin, Germany on our new innovative Erasmus+ KA1 course aimed at teachers who aspire to inspire.
The urban center of Germany, city of Berlin, will be the stage for professional growth and development aimed at teachers who feel that modern technology and individualism of the 21st century have led to the need to go back to the roots and teach collaboration and a sense of belonging to the community.
This Erasmus teacher training course promotes well-being in the classroom by enhancing group cohesion that should be at the forefront of successful teaching. The emphasis is on a happy classroom where diversity is welcome, students are active and the environment is inviting and comfortable. Improve Collaboration and teamwork.
Exercises will be presented to foster a dynamic classroom where students are concentrated, engaged and relaxed. 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. This will be achieved through presentation of healthy competition, conflict prevention and resolution and finally, confidence boost.
Our accomplished Erasmus teacher-trainer is an experienced Trinity College UK certified Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages with an Honors Bachelor of Arts (HBA) degree in Psychology & German Studies from Lewis & Clark College in Oregon, USA.
