Dynamic Student Engagement
This workshop will be useful for PhD students and early career teachers who want to go beyond standard teacher training and are looking for ideas and techniques to foster student engagement in dynamic ways. It offers ways in which teachers can create an environment in small groups and seminars to encourage critical engagement from students. We look at three ways this can be fostered:
Lesson Planning: What are some techniques you can incorporate in your lesson plan to foster critical student engagement?
You as the Facilitator: How do you create an environment where students are encouraged and supported in engaging critically?
Student-Led Group Work: How can students direct their own learning through group discussion?
Alignment to UKPSF: A1, A2, A4, K2, K3, V1, V2
