Here are the slides and diagnostic resources from Kelly and Sophia’s session on engaging and inspiring learners, including the curiosity barometer shown above.
We had a fantastic array of training sessions on our start of term INSET day last week. I thought it would be a good idea to make the handouts, slides and stimulus activities from as many of thse sessions as possible available to everyone. So the next few posts on the blog will be INSET resources. They should all be downloadable with a click or two.
First, attached here are Katie’s and Peter’s overview presentations on teaching and learning and behaviour management.
Thanks to everyone who led and participated in them last week.
This strategy is a useful revision activity that can be used in many different ways – to practise skills, make comparative judgements or encourage creative thinking.
• This activity works best when students produce their own learning grid – in each cell they write or draw a issue/skill relevant to the lesson topic;
• In pairs, students roll a dice to determine which cell they will explain;
• They then explain the topic in the cell to their partner and explain how it is related to the previous cell;
• In English, each cell could be a different descriptive writing technique and students roll the dice and then write a sentence using that technique;
• In Maths, this activity could be used to simplify algebraic expressions by removing brackets. In pairs, students use the dice to identify two cells and then work together to expand and simplify the expression.
