According to the video, the speaker Claire Ross is giving a webinar about teaching young learners how to learn.
She emphasizes the importance of developing a growth mindset in students. This means that students should believe they can improve with effort and perseverance. The speaker also provides tips on how to praise students for their effort and process, rather than just their achievement.
Here are some activities that the speaker suggests to help young learners develop their learning skills:
- Throwing beanbags into hoops: This activity helps children focus on the process of learning and improvement, rather than just the end result.
- Sorting flashcards: This activity helps children organize information and make connections between different concepts.
- Acting out different rooms in a house: This activity helps children review vocabulary and concepts in a fun and engaging way.
- Circle time: This is a time for students to reflect on what they have learned and to look ahead to what they will learn next.
Claire also mentioned a new course called Pipper and Pop that focuses on learning to learn, early literacy, and learning through play.
