Course Details

The bell goes and students wait to start the lesson. On average, there is an 8 minute gap between the end of one lesson and the actual start of the following lesson, whether staff move and students remain in the same room or vice versa (observed during visits across a wide variety of schools). This workshop will demonstrate how to eliminate ‘wasted’ time at the beginning of each lesson.

During the workshop the participants will :

• Learn about the importance of the ‘Elevator Pitch’
• See practical examples of ‘starters’ to ensure learners are engaged in thinking from the first moment
• Understand how a carefully crafted ‘starter’ can provide a powerful link to new learning
• Work with others to create a ‘bank’ of generic lesson starters suitable for any subject
