Dealing with Difficult Learners
2 Week course Course Location University of Kent at Canterbury Course Tuition Fee 1,110 Euro Accommodation Who is this course for? Teachers of
all age groups Course Summary Teachers find some pupils difficult to
teach. They seem unable to make use of the learning environment and
the teacher. These pupils may have social, emotional and behavioural
difficulties; may be de-motivated and disengaged from learning; may
be withdrawn and uncommunicative; or may already be diagnosed with a
special educational need such as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder.) This course will look at why these learners cause difficulties
for teachers and how we can develop a better understanding of the underlying
reasons for their behaviour. The course will draw on related disciplines
such as Educational Therapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming and will
enable participants to develop successful strategies for the classroom.
It will require self-reflection and a commitment to personal development.
. What are the key course contents? Topics include: What is a difficult
learner and why do we find them difficult? Emotional Literacy
and its relevance to the classroom Early attachment
patterns and their relevance to learning Psycho-analytical
theories of Bion and Winnicott and their relevance for teachers The effects
of trauma and loss on learning The effects
of family crises on learning; domestic violence; abuse and neglect;
parental addiction and/or mental illness Overcoming
and unblocking learning blocks and limiting beliefs Developing
rapport and effective communication Dealing with
conflict Recognising
and working with different learning styles Behaviour Management
techniques Behaviour Change
techniques Developing
different ways of assessing pupils Classroom activities:

are interested in how therapeutic approaches can be effectively integrated
