Here is What We Will Cover
The Case for Change
The future is already here, young people need to be prepared for it like never before. This future is different, it needs new skills and new ways of knowing.
First, Do No Harm
The move to support Autonomy as well as Competence involves a teacher stepping back to reduce any unwarranted influence on students.
How We Grow
We have three innate drives that need to be nurtured for healthy growth, the drive for Competence is well catered for the other two not so much.
Inquiry, Meditation and Mindfulness
Inquiry, meditation and mindfulness lie at the heart of changing behaviours, moods and fixed beliefs to transform the teacher-student relationship.
A Teacher Taxonomy
Most teachers competently support students' drive for Competence, about a third support Autonomy as well, a small minority support all three innate drives.
Building a regular practice
Changes of this type take time and demand regular practice both individually and with trusted and trusting colleagues. Embedding the practice becomes important.
