Students today do perceive the world differently. If so, how can we achieve a mutual understanding despite the generational differences? Therefore it is important to build a community of compassionate educators committed to nurturing both academic excellence and emotional intelligence in students.

Neurodiversity is a prominent subject in education, and how schools teaching methods can be tailored to a wide range of students. As neurodiversity refers to the differences between how people think, process information, behave, communicate and respond to the world around them, it has a profound impact on how students learn and interact with teachers and peers in school. Our new article focuses on how classroom teaching can become more inclusive for neurodiverse pupils, to ensure all students have equal opportunities to thrive in education. To find out more about our insights into how to make your classroom neuro-diverse friendly, read our new article here: https://lnkd.in/eQqv7HTe #Neurodiversity #Education #EducationRecruitment #Teaching #NextGen #NextGenTeachers

In the news... A recent article that discussed the report from the Centre for Independent Studies in Australia caught my eye, as it talked about teaching methods and their impact on student performance. The report challenges commonly held beliefs about rote learning, self-directed discovery, and the incorporation of cognitive science in education. "The report says most teachers are not using methods based on the science of how the human brain works and instead use 'pseudo-scientific' approaches that regard rote learning as bad and self-directed discovery as good." It's easy to make the assumption that all teacher training is the same and we all know the same models, theories and research, but the fact is, we don't! So... Do we need to ensure that evidence-based teaching practices are widely understood and incorporated into teacher training globally? #teachertraining #evidencebased #pedagogy #education

Today at breakfast, we watched a video of kindergarteners answering a question their teacher asked altogether loudly. My daughter, a college student, uttered a very thought-provoking question: 🤔 "What happens to us through all those years that we lose our energy to answer the questions our professors ask or voice our opinions such enthusiastically?" ↘ We can look for the likely answers in the #UDL Guidelines 3.0. It reminds us of "the importance of embedding options and flexibility into the learning environment to support learners in finding their own joy." 📌"Create space for learners to find joy through connections to their identities, sense of self, and communities" 📌"Incorporate opportunities for exploration, experimentation, and discovery." 📌"Create space for learners to take pride in their accomplishments." 📌 "Incorporate storytelling." 📌 "Nurture playfulness in a variety of forms including, but not limited to, outdoor play, sensory play, imaginative play, and play through the arts." #UDL #learning #learningsciences #neuroscienceoflearning #educationalneuroscience #brainbasedlearning #joy #play #UDLGuidelines3.0 CAST (Center for Applied Special Technology) #inclusiveeducation #equityineducation #educationalequity #inclusion #reflectionskills #reflection #thinkingskills #criticalthinking #teaching #education #teachers

A highly Cogent, Clear, Concise and Complete case for doing/implementing #SocioEmotionalLearning at Schools by Mr. Praneet Mungali . For Dr. Robert Waldinger, this question of what constitutes a “good life” isn’t hypothetical. Communication, persuasion, empathy, and resilience will always be very strong predictors of both happiness and success irrespective of what changes technology brings and the five components of SEL are must in #k12education.

Education is more than academic achievement—it's about nurturing well-being, building resilience, and unlocking the unique potential of every student where they just don’t succeed—they flourish. Join us for a transformative discussion: "Creating a Comprehensive Support Network for Student Well-Being During the Transition to Higher Education." I’m honored to be part of this panel, sharing my research on integrating positive psychology into education. It’s time to empower students with tools to thrive, not just survive. Let’s work together to reshape education, creating cultures of care and support where every student can shine. #Educationalist #UniversityandCareerCounseling #PositivePsychology #StudentSupport

The director-general of the International Baccalaureate argues for a holistic, flexible and enquiry-based approach in primary school to foster curiosity and agency. "Adults must leave time and space in the classroom for students to reflect and engage with what is meaningful to them. It is, after all, their future." This is an interesting argument about how to support emotional intelligence and wellbeing in the classroom. Educater can support any curriculum, as well as an adaptable curriculum structure. It supports schools to choose what to assess and track, when and how, with the option of entering narrative or photographic evidence of emotional resilience, as well as academic progress. #EmotionalWellbeing #EmotionalResilience #PrimaryEducation

Adolescence can be challenging, but this research shows that teachers profoundly impact student motivation and engagement, especially through the middle years. Teaching support strengthens over time, proving that educators play crucial roles in helping students to thrive. Let's celebrate teachers' impactful contributions every day! Teachers make an enormous difference! #Education #Teaching #StudentSuccess

Exploring the Impact of Peer Noise on Youth Learning. What troubles youth the most in private settings is the noise created by their peers. During study groups, the constant chatter and distractions can make it incredibly challenging for students to focus on their work, leading to frustration and decreased productivity. As we consider the learning environments of today’s youth, it's essential to recognize how these dynamics affect their ability to thrive. Research shows that a noisy atmosphere can significantly hinder attention and retention, impacting overall academic performance. "Sometimes, the loudest noise comes not from the outside world but from those closest to us." Agree? #YouthDevelopment #Education #LearningEnvironment #PeerInfluence #AcademicSuccess

How Can We Measure Emotional Intelligence in Schools? As education evolves, the importance of emotional intelligence (EI) in shaping well-rounded, successful students has never been clearer. But how do we ensure that we’re not just teaching EI, but actually understanding its impact? Educators are now turning to tools and frameworks designed to measure key emotional competencies such as self-awareness, self-regulation, and empathy. These assessments go beyond traditional academic measures, helping schools tailor interventions to meet pupils where they are emotionally and socially. Why Does Measuring EI Matter? Self-Awareness: Helps pupils recognise their emotions and triggers, fostering personal growth. Self-Regulation: Equips pupils to manage their emotions effectively, reducing stress and improving focus. Empathy: Builds stronger relationships and a more inclusive school environment. By evaluating these areas, schools can design more impactful social-emotional learning (SEL) programmes, support pupils' mental health, and create a culture of emotional well-being. The Future of EI in Education Imagine a classroom where emotional growth is as measurable as academic performance. With the rise of innovative assessment tools, we’re not far from a future where emotional intelligence becomes a standard part of every pupil’s development. How do you see emotional intelligence shaping the future of education? Are you already using tools to measure and foster these skills in your school or organisation?
