Presenter: Dale Banham
This webinar will explore a range of practical, classroom-trialled approaches to approaching GCSE and Key Stage 3 content in a more creative and engaging way. These range from ‘quick wins’ that can help students grasp a difficult concept to longer term approaches that improve written outcomes and help students develop strong substantive and disciplinary knowledge.
Creative ways to introduce new topics – from initial stimulus material to carefully planned mysteries that improve disciplinary thinking
The power of practical demonstrations – creative ways to teach difficult concepts and build strong substantive knowledge
Creative approaches to improving written outcomes and source analysis – from loaded language games to walking essays
Decision-making activities and stories that help students understand the dilemmas and choices faced by people in the past
Creative approaches to helping students remember the key disciplinary and substantive knowledge curriculum takeaways
The power of debates – how to encourage high quality and inclusive talk before writing
Creative outcomes – building motivation for an enquiry by providing students with a real sense of audience and purpose
