Are you passionate about education and professional development? Do you want to inspire your students to think more critically and deeply about the world around them? Our Philosophy With Young Learners online course is designed specifically for teachers who are eager to foster philosophical thinking, discussion, and debate in their classrooms. Whether you're a Primary or Middle School teacher, this course is for anyone interested in engaging young minds with profound questions and encouraging the development of essential life skills. Learn practical teaching strategies, explore creative activity ideas, and discover effective methods for integrating philosophy into your lessons seamlessly.

Throughout the course, we’ll explore how to guide your students in Philosophy With Young Learners by focusing on philosophical thinking skills, questioning techniques, and methods of conducting philosophical discussions. This isn't about teaching specific philosophers or historical concepts; instead, it emphasises how you can encourage young learners to engage in deep thought, scepticism, and debate. You’ll discover the power of the community of inquiry approach and learn valuable tips, tricks, and advice from an experienced philosophy teacher. With practical resources and video-learning sessions, you will be well-equipped to begin integrating philosophy into your own teaching practice right away.

The Philosophy With Young Learners course also delves into key topics, such as the role of the teacher as a philosophical mentor, developing philosophical questioning skills, and using philosophical discussions to explore global cultures and existential topics. With access to a range of educational materials—articles, videos, research papers—you can further deepen your expertise and engage your students in meaningful, thought-provoking activities. By enrolling, you’ll be making a powerful investment in your professional development and providing your students with the tools to think more clearly, critically, and creatively.
