Learning Autonomy and Self-directed Learning (JUNE 5, 2010)
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED, APOLOGIES
by Prof Gary Confessore
This is a special event organized by LBS, specially for parents and individuals. Prof Confessore gave a talk last year and opened us to the idea of self-directed learning (SDL), an ideal very close to us. SDL allows learners to be autonomous learners, allowing them greater opportunity to explore their true potential. Do register early to ensure a place.

In addition to serving as the Chief Academic Officer of three US colleges over the course of his career, he has published extensively in the fields of self-directed learning and learner autonomy. We are honoured to have Prof Confessore (profile here) conduct this special workshop specially for parents to help us understand and guide our children to be autonomous learners.
