What is Learnership?

Think of Learnership in the same way as you'd think about leadership, or craftmanship. It denotes a degree of skilfulness. Learnership is the skill of learning.

As an experienced teacher you've honed your craft over many years. You know how to teach and you're good at it. But quality teaching isn't always enough.

Too many of our students are passive learners. The wait to be lead through the learning process. They are satisfied with the immediate gratification of completion, rather than the long-term benefit of challenge. Many students lack an understanding of how they learn, much less what it means to be an effective skilful learner.

Ultimately learning is the product of what the teachers does AND what the learner does. If our students aren't engaging effectively in the learning process, then even the best teachers face an uphill battle!

For example, how many times have you given students carefully crafted formative feedback, only to have it ignored by the students? And how many of your students wait for you to find their mistakes and then wait again for you to show them how to fix them instead of doing that work for themselves?

The Learnership Matrix describes six different types of learners. In this series of workshops, use the Learnership Diagnostic Tool to identify the type of learners you have in your classroom, and then learn how to guide your students in becoming more skilful learners.

Most of us feel compassion for our close friends when they are struggling. What would it be like to receive the same caring attention from yourself when you needed it most? All that's required is a shift in attention - recognizing that as a human being, you, too are a worthy recipient of compassion.

The SC-MSC Program draws on the skills of mindfulness and focuses on developing the resource of self-compassion to enhance our capacity for emotional well-being.

Learn how resilience, hope and optimism interact and affect one another.

In this 2-day interactive Resilience Workshop, participants will learn to build their Resilience Muscles through identifying their strengths, social support networks, sources of positive emotions and previous experiences of resilience.

On completion of the workshop, students will:

• Learn about different resilience models and techniques – deliberate actions that people undertake to support themselves before, during and after challenging situations.

• Understand more about the various variables that impact resilience, like a sense of control, perceived size of the challenge, competence/efficacy, and knowing when to seek help.

Join the session to improve your coping strategies during crises and improve your ability to make good decisions even under stressful environments!

In our brand-new chapter of Simply Better Sessions, Jade Seah, Positive Psychology Practitioner and Stephen Lew, Positive Psychology Coach will explore with participants how we can effectively Learn the art of saying NO.

How can we reject others without feeling guilty? Sometimes, saying “no” to people and opportunities may seem like such a difficult task. Instead of rejecting directly and politely, some of us may feel guilty, overcompensating with unnecessary justifications and white lies as to why we have to turn down an offer.

How exactly can we be assertive without appearing aggressive? Are there moments where saying “No” is inappropriate?

A collaboration between The School of Positive Psychology and Wonder & Wellness, Simply Better Sessions is a monthly series of intimate workshops aimed at boosting the wellbeing of individuals and communities.
