Inclusive Education
How do I overcome barriers to learning and provide language support?
Inclusive education makes learning accessible for all students. Inclusion is an effort to make sure all students receive whatever specially designed instruction and support they need to succeed as learners. An inclusive approach identifies existing barriers that limit access to learning, then finds solutions and strategies to remove or reduce those barriers.
In this highly interactive 2-hour workshop, we will discuss the importance of incorporating inclusive practices and how to do so in the classroom.
Learner-Centred Approach
How can I structure my lessons in a way that is clear, easy to follow, and in alignment with effective teaching approaches?
A learner-centred approach to teaching focuses on how students learn (process), not just on what they learn (content). Active learning encourages students to take responsibility for their learning and supports them in becoming independent and confident learners both in school and beyond.
In this highly interactive 2-hour workshop, we will discuss the importance of the learner-centred approach and what it looks like in the classroom.
Digital Technologies
How do I use digital resources to support my teaching?
Digital technologies are tools that enable learners to access a wealth of up-to-date digital resources, collaborate locally and globally, curate existing material, and create new material. They include electronic devices and tools that manage and manipulate information and data. Technology supports learning and should be integrated meaningfully into the delivery of a lesson.
In this highly interactive 2-hour workshop, we will discuss the importance of incorporating digital technology and how to do so in the classroom.
Formative Assessment
How do I know if I’m teaching effectively and my learners are progressing?
Formative assessment is any activity that provides students with developmental feedback on their progress during the learning process, informing the teacher on the next steps for instruction. It is a continuous process that takes place throughout a lesson, thereby providing guidance and feedback for subsequent teaching and learning.
In this highly interactive 2-hour workshop, we will discuss the importance of Formative assessment and what it looks like in the classroom.
Differentiated Instruction
Differentiation is a challenge. How do I support individual students’ learning needs in a group setting?
Differentiated instruction is the adaptation of classroom tasks and activities for different ability levels, which enables all learners to achieve their highest potential. When instruction is differentiated, it allows a teacher to stretch and challenge all learners in their classroom. Instruction becomes more learner-centred and increasingly more individualised.
In this highly interactive 2-hour workshop, we will discuss the importance of differentiating instruction and what it looks like in the classroom.
