Pre – Conference Workshop: LEO THOMPSON
As part of the Pre-Conference workshops at the 4th Experiential Learning Conference organized by CCAAIBWS in Astana, we were thrilled to welcome Leo Thompson, Founder of Edsplorer, for a powerful Masterclass:
“Accelerating IB Approaches to Learning Skills – Thinking & Self-Management.”
With his signature hands-on approach, Leo took participants on a deep dive into how students really learn best — exploring everything from metacognition and self-regulation to memory strategies that actually stick.
Rooted in the latest learning science and real classroom experience, the session was all about giving educators simple, practical tools to build student confidence, independence, and thinking power — no matter what subject or setting.
A true “teacher in disguise,” Leo brought energy, clarity, and curiosity into the room — just the kind of spark that makes learning unforgettable.
