PARENT TALK WITH TRICIA TAYLOR

Parents from all over the island are welcome to take part, even if their child does not attend BIC.
Do you want to learn more about how your words have a lasting impact on your child’s success?
At BIC, we are committed to supporting students to develop and encourage their success.
Research shows that the language adults use when they give feedback to children is crucial in helping young people form a positive learning mindset and develop thinking skills that promote perseverance, hard work and the confidence to seek challenges. Understanding the research and then making small, yet significant, changes in the way you talk about learning and how you model your thinking in front of children will have a lasting impact on your child’s success.
At this workshop, you will learn:
The research relating to mindset and how we learn
Useful talking tips that promote a positive mindset
Suggestions for how to model your own thinking in everyday situations
