Learn the ‘impossible’ - crafting a motivational & inspiring learning experience.
Theme: classroom atmosphere, progressive learning.
Description:
In under 20 minutes, participants will be guided through an individual and group learning journey that will end with them being able to confidently read a dialogue in Chinese. They’ll learn to read, recognise and speak 10 key Chinese characters - completely independently: no supporting English, no supporting pinyin, and no teacher cheerleading or miming in the background!In addition to this key outcome, the second part of this 1 hour workshop involves a guided reflective discussion that take place after this language learning journey, where we break down what it takes to motivate, inspire and uplift learners on their journey to mastery of both knowledge and skills.
-
Using deliberate language to effect positive change and inspire action (even in the most reluctant students).
Themes: classroom language, positive classroom atmosphere
In this interactive learning experience that draws from the work of Dr Michael Berger, participants will learn the three key components of leveraging language to inspire a strong sense of identity within your learners - and yourself, too. We’ll do some activities that help us explore the power of language in terms of identity, reason and the intentional use of specific words to inspire action in even the most reluctant students.
-
Channeling peer pressure into peer power: making the most of all the brains in the room to refine, improve and deepen learning experiences.
Themes: peer assessment, progressive learning
In under 20 minutes you’ll go on a guided learning journey to master the foundational skills of drawing a cartoon, engaging in some basic illustrative skills. And as participants admire their finished drawings, what follows will be a deep and reflective learning experience to analyse the how of what we achieve. The session will have an opportunity for individual and group reflection, which will be centred around the practical ways that a teacher can channel the power of peer pressure to maximise learning outcomes and create deep learning experiences for everyone in the class - including the teacher themselves.
-
Ensuring everyone in the room has their needs met: rethinking fairness.
Themes: differentiation, inclusion, diversity, social emotional wellbeing.
In this session, participants will go on a thought provoking learning journey that helps them think through their answers to the question: how can I be fair to every learner?
With opportunities to discuss, interact and reflect on their learning journey, participants will be left with food for thought as they think through the nuances of creative an inclusive atmosphere and what 'being fair' really means. -
In this workshop, participants get started with understanding the basics of metacognition. After exploring the theory of what it's all about, we dive into finding, sharing and identifying practical ways to incorporate metacognitive teaching strategies into every lesson.
