After enduring recessions, a pandemic and major retcons in education, both educators and students are called upon to adhere to their respective roles, be it in the classroom or on camera. The challenges posed by our present predicament will test our capabilities in the academic field via experimentation of new scholastic approaches, the fostering of critical thought and the motivation to help our students build personal identities that will positively impact their welfare and progress.
To this end, the webinar will focus on the following approaches:
• Empowerment of students via various forms of engagement.
• Unconventional approaches to spark interest and stimulate participation.
• Experimenting and reflecting on what works and what doesn’t.
• Tailoring the lesson to the students’ needs.
