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.

He is an international leader in the field of autonomous learning.  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.
