Description
Even the brightest students need guidance in their work. Teaching is usually not enough, and tutors should do their best to mentor students in additional sessions, individual or in group. In these Covid times, students struggle with anxieties, with lack of social interaction, with lack of motivation and with several distractions, while working and studying from home. We, as teachers, need to find out the proper ways in which to transmit the correct motivation to our students in order to reach the desired and necessary competencies we expect from them. In this webinar, we will hear examples of good practice of facilitation and mentoring from three experienced teachers.
