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!
