Agile Mindset in Education: Fostering Collaboration, Well-being, and Innovation

Description

Concept by Zsuzsa Tölgyesi

To keep pace with a rapidly changing world, we are becoming more agile – and this shift is increasingly reflected in education.

This course introduces participants to the Agile principles and methodologies, equipping them with the tools to adapt to change, manage projects effectively, and foster collaboration.

It emphasizes practical strategies to integrate these principles into curriculum design, classroom management, and teaching practices.

Through interactive discussions, case studies, and hands-on exercises, participants will explore how to create psychological safety, prioritize well-being, and design flexible, student-centered learning experiences.

They will gain confidence in applying agile principles to their teaching, ensuring both personal and professional growth.

By the end of the course, participants will have the knowledge and skills to build classrooms that promote resilience, innovation, and empathy, effectively addressing the diverse needs of students while maintaining their own well-being.

They will leave empowered to lead with confidence and create meaningful educational experiences that foster academic success and personal growth.
