TLC 3 Challenge

This session was an amalgamation of all the challenge sessions; everybody came together in their triads to showcase the strategies they've been trying.

In particular one of my groups adapted Dalton's questioning strategies to four different subjects: history, technology, drama and business studies. All of them felt that this strategy had successfully challenged students to think more deeply about their learning and had inspired better outcomes. Success!

One of Emma's groups within the challenge TLC worked on encouraging students to extend their answers, with a particular focus on development and conflict in Afghanistan, encouraging students to write more deeply and with more detail in their writing.

Another successful challenging example includes providing students with a completed crossword where students had to form the questions. This encouraged students to think about their learning and flipped the normal process of answering a question to complete the crossword. 

Here are a few examples of the strategies staff shared.
