Active Learning- What's it all about?

Children work harder than their teachers... Adults facilitate and intervene only when natural learning requires steering.

like an active volcano, always in a state of constant flux. Sometimes its going on under the surface, sometimes exploding out the top

Active learning = Taking responsibility for finding out the things you need to know to live a richer life

active learning takes place when students are able to explain what they have learned on paper and verbally

my initial thoughts that they had to be doing something now feel it is more that the children are involved in the learning

learning that young people are actively engaged in - but that doesn't always mean moving about!

children actively engaged in their work. Can be games but also can just be sitting making a poster etc the key bit is that they are actively engaged in THEIR learning and want to be doing it

Brains On!

Get through the content

Get through the content!!!!

But...

a) Let the learner choose. Give the assessment criteria (what they need

to know) and let them decide how they will show evidence of understanding

b) Take away the comfort zone. Give the assessment criteria, but take away

the routine ways of demonstrating knowledge. A less familiar presentation may

require deeper understanding of the content
