Exploring ways to create schools where every student can thrive beyond traditional learning methods.
Ticker’s Mike Loder and Enquiry Tracker founder Greg Campitelli explore the potential for schools to foster an environment where students can truly thrive.
Guest Dr Kate Renshaw from Play & Filial Therapy stresses the importance of human-centric skills in education. She highlights critical shifts in classrooms since COVID, including increased mental health issues among students and challenges with their re-engagement in school settings.
Teacher Relationships
A significant focus is placed on the impact of teacher-student relationships on learning outcomes. Research consistently shows that these relationships are the most significant indicator of student success.
Additionally, Dr Renshaw emphasised the need for better emotional support for educators to prevent burnout. Collaborative approaches that prioritise both student and teacher well-being are crucial for fostering thriving school environments.
