Would you like to create a dynamic, active learning environment where all students are both engaged and extended?
Do you want to develop resilient students who work equally well independently or collaboratively?
Has an inspection team ever commented that the teachers, rather than your students, are doing most of the work in lessons?
The lessons that have that ‘X factor’ are ones in which the students are not passive classroom passengers but are active learners, motivated to work independently or collaboratively and extend themselves as far as they can. This course shows you how this can be achieved.

“Very useful strategies, easy to apply in the classroom. Very entertaining educator, enjoyable session. One of the best I've attended.”
Head of Science , The British International School of IstanbulThis is an excellent course. The presenter has wonderful subject knowledge and uses language to hook and engage the listener, in turn, making us active learners.
Very engaging with lots of great lesson ideas. It was great to try out activities and discuss with colleagues. Also good recommendations by Francis on the use of different apps and resources.
Without a doubt one of the best practical courses I have attended for a very long time. Thank you.
This was an excellent course with a plethora of activities that I can take back into the classroom tomorrow. The presenter was enthusiastic, well prepared and very helpful.
At last - a presentation that kept me awake and engaging throughout! Aaron was dynamic, humorous and knowledgeable.
One of the best courses I've attended in a long time. Enjoyed practical activities and best of all teachers may take away ideas and tips and implement them immediately. Looking forward to the impact of the course on teaching and learning in the classroom.
