FREE flash webinar: Developing Independent Learners with Katie Holmes

Students' work outside the classroom – when they're at home studying – plays an increasingly important role as they progress through education. But studying effectively doesn't come naturally for most of them.

To develop independent learners, we don't just need to boost students' knowledge of effective learning. We also need to give them practical strategies to implement these ideas.

So, to help you learn how to do so, join Katie Holmes at 4pm GMT on Wednesday 26 November and discover:

• Why developing independent learners is important
• How to help students see the benefits of effective learning strategies such as Retrieval Practice
• How we can support students to use Retrieval Practice when studying independently

This webinar will provide actionable insights you can implement straight away, based on our NEW Developing Independent Learners topic area on the Teacher CPD Academy.
