Information:
Nicky Anastasiou is an accomplished and inspirational presenter whose previous work in East Riding of Yorkshire has won approval from the many classroom teachers with whom she has worked. This course is a must for any teacher interested in children's learning!
The course is a shorter version of the modules taught on the Effective Learning and Teaching Project which ran in 2002-3 and 2003-4. It is ideal for teachers who know little about Accelerated Learning or for schools that have participated in the project and wish to ensure that more staff are trained in acclerated learning techniques. The course supports the National Primary Strategy, Excellence and Enjoyment and is particularly useful for schools looking at the strategy module entitled Creating a Learning Culture.
Objectives: Course participants will:
  • Receive a manual of ideas and information to support them and their school in developing learning.
  • Learn about the facts and fallacies of Accelerated Learning.
  • Be updated on the science of learning that supports the art of teaching.
  • Learn about five key learning dispositions that enhance effective learning behaviours.
  • Find out more about themselves as learners and how this can effect their teaching.
  • Consider a structure for learning that engages and motivates children.
  • Think about how to improve their practice by working smarter but not harder!
Please note that failure to attend a course to which you have applied will result in an administration charge of £10.00 unless a cancellation code is quoted.  A similar charge will be made if delegates attend without having made a formal application.
