About Course
Griffith UniversityDescription
Gain the skills you need to help adolescent learners thrive.
A large and growing body of research shows that adolescents who score high on social and emotional wellbeing report improved grades, better relationships, less trouble at school and a lesser likelihood of emotional problems.
On this course, ultimately, you’ll learn to help adolescent learners develop the skills and mindsets that will allow them to thrive. You’ll investigate the social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development of young people, explore the uses of neuroscience in education and help youths embrace lifelong learning.

Wrap Up
This course leads me to study the social, emotional, intellectual and physical development of young people, to explore the application of neuroscience in education, and to help young people embrace lifelong learning. Very practical course.
In the course I learn to help young learners develop skills and thought patterns that enable them to thrive.
As a teacher, I am always worried that my classmates will fight and even cultivate various emotional intelligence. A growing body of research shows that teens who score high in social and emotional health score better in school, have better relationships, have less trouble in school and are less likely to have emotional problems. It's worth learning to help students get through difficult times.
I was intrigued by the course, which helped me understand the skills that adolescent learners need to thrive. I have children in my family, so I always like such courses.
