Why come?
Social dynamics, conflicts, and bullying can influence every child’s ability to learn. But the reality is educators rarely get training to manage these dynamics. Even if they do, the training and resources can be simplistic or don’t appreciate the educator’s expertise of the young people they work with or the communities they serve. The Centre for Development, Learning & Technology (CDLT) has designed a dynamic new approach to teach these topics. Based on the second edition of the Owning Up Curriculum, it is also so much more.
