CPD: Ashlawn's Learning Culture

Tim’s TV: Risk-taking, Creativity & Modelling

ashlawnlearningculture — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 15:21:31 +0000

Tim acknowledges that he is taking something of a risk here and has “cranked up” the humour a touch for the festive period.

That said, the notion of risk-taking and creativity in T&L remains valid and is especially evident about 2:30 in: here, Tim models for his students an example outcome of a creative rap, song or dance that communicates understanding of human physiology…

As he says, students became very animated about their homework task and felt clear about what sort of outcomes might be produced.

Enjoy!

It might have been put on-hold by an over-zealous new boss, but Teachers’ TV lives on.

Please find here some useful links which offer video footage on 2 key areas of practice: AfL and B4L.

Perhaps use them to stimulate discussion about new or existing practice – the ideas and practice on the videos is not necessarily Best Practice.
