Professional LearningFostering self-efficacy and autonomy in the classroomNow that classrooms are returning to ‘normal’, it’s important to focus on ways of supporting our students in their educational pursuits.
Belief in the self is a key ingredient for student engagement and success in the classroom as is the ability to create independent learners who are able to take control of their learning. Using strategies that help to expose thinking, develop rapport, and engage students, Liam will use his professional experience teaching in TAFE classrooms and university enabling programs to highlight the best ways a teacher can foster self-efficacy and autonomy in their students. Who: Liam Frost-Camilleri When: Wednesday 3rd May 2023, 5-6 pm AEST Where: Zoom Cost: VALBEC Members Free; non-Members $25
