Literacy – Are we seeing the whole picture?

Literacy skills go so much deeper than the technical skills of reading and writing. Is our profession embracing this? The session will focus on how literacy is a core component of wellbeing and self-esteem and how as a profession our focus is often on the technical issues of curriculum access. By understanding this we are better placed to support and develop the youngsters in our care.

Perspectives to be changed-Understanding and making peace with our emotions

Emotional wellbeing is a critical aspect of one’s overall mental health. Enhancing that of all students has been a key part of the SEL framework for many educators. Yet students and their families, as well as educators still experience so much difficulties with this topic. Maybe it’s worth us taking a deeper look at the perspectives we hold towards our emotions and our relationship with our emotions. The path toward inner peace and wholeness requires making peace with our emotions rather than trying to get rid of those ones that we don’t like. Through this talk, the audience will first learn about the nature of emotions, and be guided to think about how a perspective change could be helpful to better make peace with emotions. After all, by promoting emotional wellbeing, people could have better relationship with others, navigate life challenges more effectively, and contribute to their overall mental health.
