- Training Day Preparation
Organise a training day around teachers sharing how they use the HOW2s in their classrooms.
Purpose
To prepare for a training day where teachers share HOW2s they have embedded in to their practice.
Procedure
Find out who is currently using particular HOW2 techniques in their practice.
Use the Skills Exchange to find who has the Embedded It status.
Ask the identified teachers if at a forthcoming training event, they would:
– Run a 10 minute presentation at a forthcoming training day
– Video their teaching using the HOW2
– Write up their ideas
Use Nudge to contact identified teachers and ask them to use Notes to collect their ideas and thoughts.
Organise a training event.
Option 1: Twilight, half or full-day training day.
Teachers revolve around workshops where they see their colleagues taking them through particular HOW2s.
Use Nudge to communicate content and the HOW2 Presentation viewing format to talk through their work.
Option 2:
Alternate teachers between presenting their HOW2s, and viewing others’ presentations during the half or full-day training event, or alternate twilight session.
Use the HOW2 Presentation viewing format to talk through their work.
Option 3:
Allocate time for teachers to view the HOW2s demonstrated, discussing with colleagues their plans for adaptation.
Use Notes to capture ideas and thoughts.
Teachers collaborate, post training event, on their learning.
Teachers communicate their progress post training event.
Use the Skills Exchange to mark their status progress from Considering It to Working On It, to Embedded It.
