Webinar Series

with Tarryn McLaren

Tarryn is presenting two webinars in this series to be held in March. These two webinars are designed to enhance classroom practices by exploring the skills and character traits necessary to develop and grow in the age of AI.

Webinar 1

19th March: 16:00 - 17:30

The Heart of the Human in an AI world:

Guiding Kids to Thrive in 2025 and Beyond

In an AI-driven world, students need more than just knowledge—they need the skills to become adaptable, self-directed learners. This webinar explores the vital role of emotions in fuelling creativity and curiosity, two key competencies that drive adaptability in an unpredictable, AI-powered future.

Join us as we unpack strategies for developing high-performing lifelong learners who can thrive in an era of generative AI while fostering greater human collaboration. Gain insights into meta-learning and the critical connection between emotions and learning, both within and beyond the classroom.

You'll walk away with a practical toolkit based on the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Model, designed to enhance students’ ability to absorb and apply new knowledge. Research shows that social learning—where individuals learn within a group—accelerates understanding by integrating both cognitive and emotional intelligence. Through shared experiences, students not only recall what they learn but also how others’ perspectives shape their own understanding.

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore cutting-edge strategies that will empower students to thrive in an AI-driven world!

Webinar 2

26th March: 16:00 - 17:30

Cultivating Curiosity

Transforming Classrooms into Hubs of Wonder and Inquiry

Shouldn't every classroom be an incubator of awe—where curiosity is nurtured, questions are encouraged, and intrinsic inspiration takes root? In this webinar, we will explore curiosity as a foundational skill for lifelong learning and a key driver of success in a future-focused world.

Join us as we uncover the power of curiosity and questioning in shaping engaged, self-motivated learners. We’ll dive into practical strategies to:

create entry points for curiosity within your curriculum
foster a question-based mindset in your classroom
explore the characteristics of an inquiry-driven environment
scaffold for student agency and competency development.

Walk away with hands-on, actionable strategies that you can implement immediately to transform your classroom into a space where wonder thrives, thinking deepens, and students become architects of their own learning.
