WHAT IS THE WORKSHOP ABOUT?

WHAT WAS THE WORKSHOP ABOUT?

The workshop was broadcasted live from Prague, Czech Republic on November 26, 2022.

The aim of this workshop is to introduce you to successful teaching strategies to be used on a daily basis.

How do we know what the child's needs are and what additional challenges to prepare for them in the classroom? How to be truly objective? What competencies will we need to guide the child to in order for them to take responsibility for their own learning? What prompts children to discussion?

Letty Rising, well known education consultant, will map out for you important building blocks for effective teaching. You will learn about the different approaches we can use, how they are beneficial, and how a classroom where the use of these strategies becomes common will change. You'll take away six practical activities that you can try right away in your classroom.

An important part of the workshop will be composed of tailor-made experiential community activities. They will be led by Lisa Thauvette, experienced educator employing improvisation techniques in her practice allowing to grasp the topics discussed from an unexpected perspective.

You will also have the opportunity to ask your own questions during the Q&A session at the end of the workshop.

“Teaching is not about answering questions but about raising questions – opening doors for students in places that they could not imagine.”

WHAT WILL WE FOCUS ON?

WHAT DID WE FOCUS ON?

  • Student work analysis and observation
    We will look into how to continuously determine what children are interested in, what they enjoy, what they have mastered, what they struggle with and what they avoid. This knowledge enables teachers to create high-quality individual lesson plans based on what each student needs.
  • Feedback and self evaluation
    We will review the concept of feedback and self-assessment. When teachers use reflective techniques and tools in the classroom correctly, students naturally begin to see the process of reflection as a part of the learning process. We will also discuss how the use of self-evaluation leads children to greater confidence and independence.
  • Small group lessons and strategic questioning
    We will explore how to verify the extent to which each student understands the material that has been presented. We will talk about the role of different types of questions we ask, our non-verbal communication or silence as a response in teaching. These insights will help teachers better tailor instruction across the classroom and guide children forward.
  • 6 classroom activities as a practical take-away
    You will leave the workshop with 6 practical activities selected for you by Letty Rising, all immediately applicable in the classroom enriching your teaching routine.
  • 3 community activities with Lisa Thauvette
    Through original, imaginative and playful activities led by Lisa Thauvette you will have the opportunity to experience all the things discussed in the workshop. "Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand."
  • Q&A
    You will have plenty of space to ask questions that may come to mind during the workshop on the topic of strategies for successful teaching.
