J anuary's featured courses
Collaborating and presenting plays an integral
part in your role as a teacher. With collaboration
being key to personal development, we have
made sure that there is no shortage of material on
NAU to develop your skills in this area.
Learn New I T Skills
When we think of workplace presentations, the
first piece of software that springs to mind is often
the ubiquitous Microsoft PowerPoint; but despite
our familiarity with the name, not all of us have
first-hand experience using it. In this quick course
you will learn to put together a presentation in
PowerPoint that will look like it?s been done by a
professional. Don?t worry if you have no prior
experience, this course is designed for beginners
who are looking to acquire fundamental skills.
Present with Power
So, you have created your first presentation, it?s all
looking good on paper and you?re ready to share
your findings! This is where a lot of us get nervous;
it is, after all, quite a daunting experience sharing
your work with others. We all know how easy it is
to lose our audience if we aren?t keeping them
engaged. Try our quick course, Presenting with
Power, and learn how you can captivate, motivate
and inspire your audience.
Make Meetings Matter
What makes a good meeting? Good content,
structure or engaged participants? The answer is
all of the above, and more. There are so many
factors that contribute to the success of a meeting.
Our final featured course for this month is Making
Meetings Matter. This course will provide you with
the necessary skills required to make the most out
of your meetings.
Upcoming Webinar: Growing Minds
Growing Minds: one school?s approach to
developing a Positive Education curriculum
Victoria Stec is an experienced international
English teacher who is passionate about creating a
curriculum that explicitly teaches adolescents
practical skills for developing and managing their
own wellbeing. Last year she took on the role of
coordinator for her school?s unique wellbeing
programme, Growing Minds, which takes the
implementation of Positive Education into its own
hands. Victoria has found that it has been a truly
special responsibility to have so much influence
over how to guide the young minds that will
become the leaders of the future, and is
passionate about sharing this with Nord Anglia
schools.
This webinar presents the challenges and insights
gained while attempting to answer questions such
as, ?What can be done to kindle the innate urge
within every child to learn and know??, ?How can
educators provide children with the opportunity
to take up responsibility for themselves and
others?? and ?What can be done to inspire students
to
continually
strive towards personal
improvement
through
self-reflection
and
self-development?? This session offers practical
ideas and resources for promoting mental health,
creating habits for happiness and fostering a
sense of social responsibility in students.
In addition, learning intentions include exploring:
- how to develop a curriculum that is responsive
to the specific needs of individual cohorts
- assessment strategies to measure the impact of
Positive Education on students
- the shared responsibility of educators to model
and exemplify ? not just teach ? growth mindset
