New PhD Research Provides the Missing Link to Student Engagement

June 16, 2010  Professional Development Day for Teachers

Based on the latest cutting edge research in neuroscience, former principal and author of the recently released Success Zone, Andrew Mowat, presents a dynamic one day training to teachers. Teachers will learn the theory behind this brain-based approach to engagement and behaviour management, how to implement the techniques in their classrooms, and why the best literacy and numeracy teaching techniques fall short without strong student engagement.

• Is behaviour management wearing you down and taking up your focus and time?
• Are you looking for better ways to engage and involve your students?
• Do you wish students would take more responsibility for their own behaviour?
• Are looking to stay calm under pressure and manage your own emotions in confrontational and emotive situations?

We at Group 8 understand the increasing challenges that teachers face around student participation and engagement in class, which is why we are so passionate about educating teachers on the simple yet widely unknown tips to positive student engagement.

With over 70 years of teaching experience and educational research, Group 8 has helped hundreds of teachers in the UK and Australia learn and implement the skills we will teach you in this one day workshop.

“Andrew’s style models everything he is presenting. His work is engaging, interesting, challenging and experiential. Best of all, you can walk away with immediate tools and skills that you can apply at home and at school.”  Nella Cascone, Assistant Principal, Iramoo Primary School.

Learn the 6 secrets of engagement outstanding* teachers know and use. *Based on Group8 research into teaching and education, one out of twenty teachers qualify as 'outstanding'.

• The two key mind states that impact on behaviour and learning
• Aspects of the brain that are critical to the learning and teaching process
• How your mind state impacts on the behaviour and learning of students
• The skills of coaches and influential leaders that trigger high engagement
• Teach brain awareness to students
• Experience how to use brain awareness to build a brain-based framework of behaviour management and self-managing students

Success Zone Classrooms: Education 3.0 & The Brain In Your Classroom

How would you feel knowing that no matter what happens in the classroom or the staffroom that you could maintain your cool and your authority, and help those around you to diffuse any short fuses or upsets.  Imagine if you could easily shift students from a disruptive state to one of engagement.

And because we want to put this knowledge into the hands of as many teachers as possible, we are inviting you to our special one day workshop, at half the normal price of the event.  Come for just $97 for a lifetime’s worth of learnings and techniques.
