Creating a balance

v.

“Active learning in lessons is a good place to start but a bad place to stop” ?

Page 9: Talking about learning   23rd may 2012

Talking about Learning?

• Make time for discussion and feedback. Student voice value. Fronter forums, interviews, discussion

• Connect to an activity – balance “thinking” and “doing”• Link to an aim – split screen dual objectives (check learning of “learning habits” aim too)

• Look at the bigger picture – how can these learning habits be relevant outside the lesson/curriculum/school? Ask questions. In what other situations could/would you use those ‘learning skills’? Explore possibilities.
