New Horizons: Pioneering Strategies for Engaging Young People with Learning
We offer a range of seminars and workshops which seek to promote a cultural change in youth organisations, to focus on learner engagement. For example:
- Positive Strategies for Challenging Behaviours:
Rather than using punishment to modify behaviour, we seek to understand why the student is behaving in challenging ways, and aim to teach more appropriate ways to meet their needs. - Creating a Positive Learning Environment:
Looking at how to establish norms, boundaries and expectations in a safe and nurturing environment. - Applying Positive Responses:
Developing responses that promote more effective decision-making rather than reinforcing challenging behaviours. - Enhanced Rapport:
Exploring ways to work effectively with young people who exhibit challenging behaviours, by building rapport - Developing a Learner's Perspective:
How to engage young people by moving from a subject specific (or content-centric) approach to a learner-centric approach.
The training uses our groundbreaking Enablement Model, which focusses on positive strategies & learner engagement. It was developed through our experience of providing New Horizons, the alternative curriculum which has been causing a stir among youth services, education providers and the media. Now the subject of a BBC1 documentary, New Horizons is set to revolutionise the way educational professionals engage young people.
