Webinars
Kent Educational Psychology Service are offering schools and other education settings the opportunity to try an innovative approach to learning and professional development. We have developed some initial prototype recorded presentations, or webinars.
These introductory presentations cover:
- Resilience: The psychology of wellbeing and effective learning in a nutshell. Understanding resilience can give
- Key Skills for SENCOs: An introduction showing you how to use this poweful, cost-effective and effective approach to improving learning outcomes for children
- Metacognition: A set of practical skills and tools to help SENCOs and inclusion leaders within their role in schools and settings.
If colleagues find that these are a useful way to learn in school we will invest more time to expand the range of topics on offer.
The benefits
- Recorded webinars can be a valuable part of your professional development (PD) strategy in school.
- Short bursts of learning, followed by time spent implementing the ideas and putting strategies in place, with time spent reviewing, reflecting and discussing with colleagues can be a much better way of learning than a one off training session.
- Recorded webinars give you the flexibility and accessibility to develop learning programmes with timings that suit you.
- KEPS strive to provide the highest quality PD for school staff and we would work with you to integrate short web based input sessions with other effective learning strategies such as face to face learning events with a psychologist, facilitating group reflection and discussion, incorporating other resources and ideas, live webinars where you can talk to a psychologist online, coaching, systemic tools such as appreciative inquiry, action research and action planning.
It is important to embed a short webinar into a programme of other learning activities to achieve meaningful outcomes. This could be within school, with other schools or with a psychologist from KEPS to help you.
We are keen to know of other topics you would like us to cover as we expand the range of webinars available. You can follow us on Twitter for updates to what we have available and check our online brochure for more details of the training courses we have on offer.
