Can you believe that some of the MOST IMPORTANT skills your learners need to have are “invisible”, “unspoken”, and rarely thought of? Well, this is true!
Pre-academic skills are often thought of as basic preschool skills such as the ability to sit at a desk, follow instructions from a teacher, match and sort colours, shapes, sizes etc. They are actually a lot more than that.
With better understanding of our brains, pre-academic skills are increasingly being thought of as part of our cognitive skills. In fact, these skills are not only relevant for preschool students, but older students too.
Many school-going children may underperform in school because their pre-academic skills were not fully or properly developed. Pre-academic skills are the brain skills such as working memory, cognitive flexibility, and impulse control which not only underlie successful academic achievement but also successful social-emotional relationships.
Join us at this webinar as we discuss these invisible and rarely-discussed, yet profoundly important skills. If parents and educators start thinking about these skills and developing them holistically from young, the long-term benefits to our learners will be immense!
Attend this webinar to:
- Uncover pre-academic skills and why they are some of the most important skills for our learners to develop.
- Learn about the “Task Analysis” model to guide our holistic thinking in developing these important skills in our learners.
- Take home practical strategies to help your learners develop solid pre-academic skills
