What will you learn?

Join Barbara Watson who has unravelled the concept of learner identity and unveiled the pivotal role teachers play in shaping it. Discover the power of fostering a strong sense of self-belief in children – a belief that they are capable of conquering any challenge that comes their way.


In this session, we have delved deep into what exactly constitutes a learner identity and why it's the cornerstone of a child's educational journey. We have also uncovered the subtle ways teachers can either fuel or hinder a child's perception of their learning abilities.
