The training will equip you with the skills required to comfortably apply Active Learning Teaching strategies. Cooperative Learning ensures tight classroom management and reliable assessment, is transferable across all subjects and levels, and fuses seamlessly with existing lesson plans and materials. It also integrates subject matter with social skills and higher level thinking needed for 21st century job markets and multicultural society. It therefore secures key objectives: Outstanding attainment, respectful enlightened negotiation of values, authentic cultural and religious identity building connected to British values, safeguarding, SMSC etc. Search Google for “EEF Teaching and Learning Toolkit; a Cooperative Learning gloss”.
