#13 Planning a Learning Episode

Course
24 Lessons

What is this course about?

A mistake I made for many years was thinking the correct unit of time for planning was the lesson. Now, I plan in terms of Learning Episodes. In this workshop, we consider three possible structures to a Learning Episode, the purpose of each element with the structures, and what this looks like when we sit down to plan our lessons.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the course for?

This workshop is relevant for maths teachers from Key Stages 2 upwards. The content may transfer to Key Stage 1, but I cannot promise.

Can I share this course with my colleagues

After you purchase this course, you can show the videos to colleagues as part of a whole school CPD session or a departmental meeting.

You are not allowed to share the videos to colleagues outside of your school.

Do I need to prepare anything in advance?

Everyone will need something to write on, either paper or a mini-whiteboard.
You may wish to print a copy of the prioritisation template in the first section for each person, or they can sketch it themselves.
Colleagues will have lots of opportunities to discuss ideas, so please ensure the seating arrangements facilitate this.

I will share a link at the end of course showing where you and your colleagues can access all the relevant research and resources
