Plan an active lesson
Build a 40-minute lesson where students do the work.
Try it
Takes about 2 minutes.
The problem
Teachers agree that students should be active, then plan another lesson that is mostly talk.
Who it's for
Teacher and faculty training in schools, colleges and universities
Before and after
See how we make a difference
Before
A typical teacher training
- A seminar on student-centred learning.
- A lesson plan template to fill in later.
- A recreation of a common training, not a real client's.
After
Redesigned
- Change 1: Teachers build a real lesson from activity blocks.
- Change 2: Instant feedback on the balance of teacher talk, student practice and checking understanding.
- Change 3: A lesson they can teach next week.
- Reason for change 1: Planning a real lesson is closer to the job than hearing about a method.
- Reason for change 2: Seeing the balance makes "too much talk" visible.
- Reason for change 3: Teachers leave with something they can use straight away.
In person
Using this in a workshop
In a teacher workshop, subject teams plan next week's lesson with it, then compare their balance of talk and practice. Afterwards, teachers use it to plan one lesson a week and bring back what happened.
How we'd build this for you
Build it from parts, with instant feedback
This activity is one example of a pattern that works in almost any subject. Here's how the same idea could look in yours.
- Training designPlan a 2-hour workshop with enough practice for every idea.
- ManagementPlan a team meeting where every item has a decision.
- NursingPlan a shift so every patient's checks fit in.
- Personal financeBuild a monthly budget that leaves room for savings.
- EventsPlan a day's schedule that keeps people moving and engaged.
We build it with your subject experts and your own examples, for your workshops and your learning platform. Every piece works on phones, by keyboard and with screen readers.
