3PM (GMT) Wednesday 9th January 2019

About the webinar

How do you feel about your relationship with students in your school? Are there some you have a strong rapport with? Others you find harder to relate to? Come to this workshop to discover the difference strong compassionate relationships can make, how different emotional states and attachment styles can affect relationship-building and how the drive for humans to be part of a social group can impact on your classroom.
