The 6 Majestics

Six masterclasses, one transformation

Every session is a stand-alone deep dive. Together, they form a complete professional path.

1 Masterclass 1

Metacognition & Awareness

Bringing consciousness to the teacher and learner to accelerate the learning process.

Friday, July 31, 2026 18:30 – 20:30 CEST

Research consistently shows that learners who understand how they learn are significantly better equipped to regulate their behaviour, overcome plateaus, and achieve long-term success. This evidence-informed masterclass explores the intersection of metacognition, neuroscience and daily teaching practice — drawing on current research into cognitive load, neuroplasticity, memory and attention.

Key focus areas

The core principles of metacognition and why they alter learning outcomes.
Key neuroscience findings on memory imprinting and cognitive load.
Practical toolkits for student reflection, planning, monitoring and self-evaluation.
Strategies to build deep self-awareness and self-regulation in learners.

Duration: 2 hours · Attendance certificate & recording included.

2 Masterclass 2

Emotional Learning Journeys

Understanding the science of “fight or flight” to troubleshoot learning blocks, fear, and frustration.

Saturday, August 1, 2026 11:00 – 13:00 CEST

When a student encounters an emotional trigger, their brain enters a fight, flight or freeze state that physically alters their capacity to process language. This masterclass combines neuroscience and coaching frameworks to help you recognise hidden triggers, run restorative conversations and guide frustrated learners back to a calm, secure state.

Key focus areas

Neuroscience and neuropsychology principles to troubleshoot learning blocks.
How to shift your communication style to become a genuinely brain-friendly educator.
Recognising subtle emotional triggers before they disrupt the classroom.
How to talk to your students about their brains to empower emotional self-recovery.

Duration: 2 hours · Attendance certificate & recording included.

3 Masterclass 3

Effective Communication & Dopamine

Changing the dynamics of classroom communication to maximise memory imprinting.

Friday, August 7, 2026 18:30 – 20:30 CEST

By importing specialised coaching structures into daily teaching, you can radically maximise your students’ focus, autonomy and ownership. Discover how to use structured models like PACT PQC (Rachel Paling, 2012) to provoke “aha!” moments and build stronger neural connections — and learn the exact communication patterns that trigger dopamine for natural memory retention.

Key focus areas

Integrating professional coaching ethics and principles into the teaching process.
Mastering goal-setting and periodic review conversations that boost commitment.
Shifting your stance to become less directive and highly interactive.
The mechanics of triggering curiosity, positivity and dopamine in learning.

Duration: 2 hours · Attendance certificate & recording included.

4 Masterclass 4

Active Listening & Powerful Questions

The art of Socratic questioning and empathetic listening to deepen student connection.

Saturday, August 15, 2026 11:00 – 13:00 CEST

Coaching in education is fast becoming the global norm. This masterclass teaches you to embody a professional coaching mindset (aligned with the ICF core competencies) to enhance your pedagogical impact. You will adapt Kolb’s learning cycle through powerful questioning and deep listening, and unpack Dr. David Rock’s FEELING model to handle complex classroom dynamics.

Key focus areas

Active listening techniques that actively accelerate language acquisition.
Infusing empathy and compassion into difficult conversations about resistance.
Using the Positive Emotional Attractor State (Boyatzis) to tap into intrinsic vision.
The art of Socratic questioning to stimulate critical thought, insight and creativity.

Duration: 2 hours · Attendance certificate & recording included.

$AELCA Masterclass 5: Promoting Autonomy & Responsibility$

5 Masterclass 5

Promoting Autonomy & Responsibility

Honouring the uniqueness of the individual brain using Self-Determination Theory.

Friday, August 28, 2026 18:30 – 20:30 CEST

Track the 50-year trajectory of learner autonomy from Self-Determination Theory to modern Intentional Change Theory. This session confronts the neuromyth of “learning styles”, replacing it with the authentic science of learning, and shows you how to partner with learners by introducing structured choice, personal preference and genuine ownership.

Key focus areas

Shifting your role to become a less directive, highly interactive partner.
Proven methods to provoke authentic learner autonomy and personal responsibility.
Building collaborative learning environments by truly partnering with students.
Practical paths to help learners discover their own optimal way of learning.

Classroom Attention & Motivation

The neurological mechanisms behind long-term focus, vision, and overcoming plateaus.

Saturday, August 29, 2026 11:00 – 13:00 CEST

Boosting concentration and deep focus is arguably the single greatest challenge for the modern educator. This final masterclass dives into the neurology of motivation and reward. Use the PEA and NEA effects from Professor Richard Boyatzis to keep motivation high, navigate plateaus, manage digital distractions and maintain consistent long-term progress.

Key focus areas

Running an initial “Motivision” conversation to secure long-term learning vision.
The neural mechanisms of motivation and the difference between motivation and commitment.
Tactical troubleshooting for sudden drops in motivation or external interference.
Brain-friendly methods to enhance attention span and sustain concentration.

Duration: 2 hours · Attendance certificate & recording included.
