Active Learning
A Workshop Framework for Literacy and Mathematics
This workshop emphasizes the power of the mini-lesson, the gradual release of responsibility model, and the importance of predictable routines. Educators will learn how to deliver concise, focused mini-lessons that introduce key concepts and skills. The workshop will highlight the gradual release of responsibility model, moving from teacher-led instruction to independent student practice, ensuring learners build confidence and competence. Additionally, predictable routines will be explored to create a structured yet flexible learning environment, promoting consistency and maximizing student engagement and success in literacy and mathematics.
Developing Student Agency, Voice, and Choice
Our workshop on "Developing Student Agency, Voice, and Choice" helps educators empower students by teaching strategies for decision-making, goal-setting, and self-expression. Participants will learn how to create opportunities for students to share their thoughts and preferences, fostering engagement and confidence in learning. Educators will gain practical tools to integrate student voice and choice, promoting motivation, independence, academic success, and agency.
Engage to Excel: Active Learning Strategies
This workshop is designed to equip educators with dynamic techniques to transform passive learning into active engagement. Participants will explore a variety of interactive methods, including collaborative activities, hands-on projects, and inquiry-based learning. The workshop emphasizes the importance of student participation and critical thinking, offering practical tools to create stimulating and inclusive classroom environments. By fostering active learning, educators will enhance student motivation, comprehension, and retention, driving academic excellence and a deeper love for learning.
Beyond Facts: Embracing Concept-based Education
Our "Beyond Facts: Embracing Concept-Based Education" workshop invites educators to explore a transformative approach to teaching and learning that goes beyond the memorisation of facts. Participants will delve into the principles of concept-based education, discovering how to guide students to a deeper understanding and application of key concepts across disciplines. This workshop emphasizes shifting focus from isolated facts to overarching principles, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and lifelong learning skills. Educators will gain practical strategies and resources to implement concept-based teaching in their classrooms, empowering students to connect knowledge across subjects and develop a more profound understanding of the world around them.
Inspiring Inquiry-Based Teaching and Learning
Our "Teaching and Learning Through Inquiry" workshop equips educators with strategies to foster a classroom environment driven by curiosity and exploration. Participants will learn how to design and implement inquiry-based lessons that encourage students to ask questions, investigate, and discover answers independently. The workshop emphasizes developing critical thinking skills, student agency, and deeper understanding through active engagement. Educators will leave with practical tools to create a dynamic learning atmosphere where inquiry fuels academic growth and a passion for learning.
Enriching the Textbook Experience
This workshop guides educators in enhancing traditional textbook learning with interactive and engaging methods. Participants will explore strategies to supplement textbook content with hands-on activities, multimedia resources, and real-world applications. The workshop emphasizes creating dynamic lessons that promote critical thinking, deeper understanding, and student engagement. Educators will gain practical tools to make textbook learning more relevant and impactful, fostering a richer and more comprehensive learning experience for their students.
