Webinar overview
Join Tony Kirton to explore how you can take a proactive approach to creating the conditions for learner engagement.
Drawing on insights from neuroscience and evolutionary psychology, we will explore the T.E.R.A. model and how it can be used to promote psychological safety, encourage participation and reduce the likelihood of learner disengagement.
Together, we will explore the many small things educators can do to increase engagement and discover practical techniques for creating learning environments that encourage curiosity, participation and learning.
Attendees should note, the T.E.R.A model is a variation of the ‘S.C.A.R.F’ model.
Please note* To protect the integrity of the session, the use of AI notetakers or any third-party recording tools is not permitted. Click here if you would like to find out more.
Key topics covered
- Understanding the brain science behind the TERA model, psychological safety and learner engagement.
- Key behaviours and techniques educators can use to promote learner engagement in line with the TERA model.
- Limitations of the T.E.R.A model and others like it.
