About this programme
Have you ever finished a lesson feeling that you did most of the thinking? This introductory workshop explores how everyday teacher habits can unintentionally reduce students’ opportunities to make decisions and work things out for themselves. Reflect on familiar classroom moments and identify small changes that encourage student ownership without removing necessary support.
