Beyond the Surface: Using Whole-Child Insights to Identify and Support Fragile Learners
Not all struggling students are visible. Some of our most at-risk learners, the “fragile learners”, appear confident on the surface while holding deep doubts about their own capabilities. How can schools identify these hidden vulnerabilities and provide the compassionate support that transforms self-belief and unlocks potential?
Join Renaissance (incorporating GL Education) for an inspiring webinar that demonstrates the power of combining attitudinal insights with targeted, relationship-based interventions. Learn how understanding students’ self-perceptions through the Pupil Attitudes to Self and School (PASS) survey alongside their cognitive abilities measured by CAT4 can reveal those who might otherwise be completely missed.
In this webinar, you’ll discover:
- How to identify fragile learners by exploring the relationship between students’ actual ability and their perceived learning capability
- Practical strategies for addressing low self-regard and building confidence in learners who doubt their own potential
- How understanding students’ feelings towards school, their attitude to teachers, and their preparedness for learning creates opportunities for meaningful conversations
- Ways to support students struggling with perseverance and response to curriculum demands through targeted interventions
- A collaborative approach involving school leaders and teachers that celebrates success, recognises effort, and aligns with growth mindset philosophy
- Longitudinal insights showing how sustained, compassionate support leads to marked improvement in both self-perception and academic performance
Drawing on experience from leading international schools worldwide, including Patana Bangkok School, Garden International School, and many others across Asia, this session shares proven, practical approaches that ensure no student falls through the gaps.
