Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

• Critique psychological models of learning and how they can be applied in a teaching context 
• Investigate how to inspire deeper learning and motivation in students 
• Formulate insights into the emotional complexity of teaching and learning 

This course offers a rare opportunity to learn from two eminent educators. One, a widely esteemed and talented trombone player and teacher, and the other a very experienced inclusive educational psychologist.

Drawing upon shared knowledge and direct experience of learning, the two educators explore dominant psychological models and how they make sense in the real world of teaching. From teaching trombone at an expert level, to teaching children and young people with complex needs, there's a lot of overlap when it comes to learning.

By listening deeply and making connections to your own experiences, you will be able to consider how to improve your own teaching and the teaching of others.
