The Public Lecture “Nurturing Holistic Learners: The Multifaceted Roles of Teacher”, organised by the School of Education, will take place on May, 21 at the Don Bosco Auditorium, USJ Ilha Verde Campus.
ABOUT THE TALK:
In the realm of education, teachers transcend their traditional role as mere conveyors of knowledge. They assume multifaceted responsibilities that extend far beyond the classroom. Teachers recognize that learning is not confined to textbooks and lectures. They create dynamic environments that encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and exploration. Effective teachers serve as mentors who guide students through their educational journey. Beyond grades, teachers aim for psychological flourishing. They create a sense of belonging, purpose, and self-worth. Positive teacher-student relationships enhance motivation and engagement.
This public lecture explores how teachers become facilitators of growth, mentors, and advocates for their students’ well-being, ultimately contributing to the development of holistic individuals. In summary, teachers play a transformative role in shaping the future. By embracing their multifaceted roles, they contribute significantly to the growth of well-rounded individuals who thrive academically, personally, and psychologically.
