Talk-Less Teaching – Practical, easy-to-use Strategies You Can Use Every Day (Offered in Collaboration with COBIS)
Isabella Wallace
Course Outline
Of course, most of us acknowledge that didactic, lecture-style teaching fosters a culture of passivity in pupils, where pupils have come to expect to have learning “fed” to them – to be told the answers, rather than be taught the skills to discover the answers themselves, or even consider the possibility of alternative answers. This course will help you to quickly improve progress by using Talk-Less Teaching techniques which allow learning to go far deeper than it does when it is mostly administered aurally! You will take away a vast bank of exciting, engaging, practical ways to allow learners to access and understand complex topics and skills without relentlessly bending their ears! Strategies will be realistic and useable by delegates the very next day in subjects across the curriculum and in the different Key Stages.
