Foster a community of learners to enhance learner engagement
Thursday 13 March 2025 | 12pm AEST | Presented by Allison Miller
Learners who feel that their VET educators care about them have a stronger belief that they learn better (Hattie, 2009).
This highlights the fact that VET educator-to-learner, learner-to-learner, and learner-to-VET educator relationships are so important in helping learners feel like they belong, which in turn helps to create a learning environment where learners can be successful.
This webinar will offer a broad range of learning and teaching activities that VET educators can implement to build learner engagement through supporting a community of learners and the development of effective relationship-building strategies.
Participants will be able to:
Explain how the importance and power of effective relationships supports learner engagement
Select relationship-building activities which suit their teaching and their learners’ needs, and to increase learner engagement
Establish a community of learners who support one another both in, and beyond, the classroom
