The Agility of Mind: How to turn children into engaged learners

We live in a world wherein the entire educational system is constantly challenged. Administrative tasks take time away from the teaching role educators are expected to master distance learning overnight and there is no real partnership between parents and teachers - not to mention an overall lack of recognition and support for the teaching profession.The Agility of Mind is a learner-centred approach to change this. Inspired by the contributions of cognitive sciences behavioural sciences neuro-pedagogy and positive psychology it helps to facilitate the educational path at school at home and online. It provides educators and parents with the means to support learners by: - Promoting the use of a common language for clear communication between children parents and educators.- Multiplying positive collaborative experiences to encourage each learner to actively engage.- Developing metacognition activities for lifelong learning minds.- Taking into account the rhythms and preferences of each learner at home at school and online.- Developing a curious mind to deal with the complexity of reality.- Focusing on the acquisition of cross-curricular skills (soft-skills) easily embedded in the curriculum.
