Course Description

What can we do to engage reluctant learners?

Many students disconnect and disengage with learning, not meeting their potential and disrupting the learning of others in the process.

This course will support teachers to understand why some students disengage in the classroom and provide a variety of strategies to help meet the needs of these students, including strategies specific to boys.



Audience

This course is aimed at classroom teachers in a primary or secondary setting. It may also be useful for administrators to help inform school wide planning and initiatives.
