Dear teacher,

We have decided to postpone the Teachers’ Day in Barcelona to Saturday, 12th May due to the recent announcement of ‘oposiciones’ that will take place on Saturday, 14th April and the subsequent communication by many teachers of their being unable to attend the teachers’ day.

This Teachers’ Day will give you the opportunity to attend a range of innovative and practical teacher training sessions that will help you greatly in your professional development and have a positive effect on your teaching practice.

We hope to see you on Saturday, 12th May!

PLENARYNeuroeducación: neurociencia aplicada al aprendizaje

La neurociencia ha demostrado que las emociones y los procesos cognitivos son inseparables, por eso la curiosidad, la alegría y la motivación son claves para enseñar y aprender algo. ¿Sabes cómo programarlas en ti y tus alumnos? Hoy existe información científica relevante que está al alcance de todos y que permite aplicar la neurociencia al aprendizaje. En esta sesión haremos una entrevista a tu cerebro para descubrir cómo generar entornos que favorezcan el aprendizaje y las emociones positivas, y practicaremos divertidos ejercicios para ejercitar nuestro cerebro.

Skills for a changing world

We know that today’s learners are growing up in a different world to the one we grew up

in. In this practical session we will consider how we can

support children in developing the necessary skills for our inter-connected age. These include communicating and

collaborating with others, thinking creatively and

critically, and working to become caring global citizens.

Vidéo et cartes mentales : un duo gagnant !

La vidéo et les cartes mentales sont deux outils relativement

simples d’utilisation, et pourtant capables de vous

créer des dynamiques de classes stimulant

l’apprentissage de nos élèves. Dans cet atelier, après une brève introduction, nous

verrons comment utiliser la vidéo dans la classe de français

pour favoriser l’expression et la compréhension orale.

Puis dans un deuxième temps nous découvrirons les différentes exploitations de la carte mentale comme outil

pédagogique.

KATIA BRANDEL

A Calmer Classroom through Mindfulness

Training

Today’s students have a lot of stress and a short attention span. This session will teach some mindfulness strategies to help them focus in class,

deal with exam stress and keep track of how they’re feeling.

Being mindful reminds us that we have choices. You can

choose to manage distractions, be in the present moment, and respond instead of react. This practical session will help you as a teacher too. Mindfulness

makes you a kinder, more focused and better teacher.
