How can we engage and inspire our students to take ownership of their learning?

In today’s changing educational landscape, student engagement and motivation are more vital than ever. This session, Applying Coaching to Enhance Students’ Autonomy, Confidence, and Independence, will explore how a coaching approach can empower students to broaden their perspectives, take charge of their goals, and drive their own success. Through practical examples and collaborative discussion, we’ll examine methods to boost students’ autonomy and confidence, helping them overcome challenges and achieve meaningful outcomes.

Join us to discover new ways to connect with students and inspire their growth—are you ready to unlock their potential?
