New teaching methods
During the current times, our tutors have changed their usual methods of classroom teaching to delivering lessons online, to enable all their students to learn from home. The challenge with this scenario is keeping students engaged and encouraging them to return to their lessons week after week!
Dave Roach, who teaches maths and English functional skills, has found a novel way to do just that. He decided that each week he would run lessons with a theme, beginning with a beach party. This set the trend and his students can’t wait to see what he will be next. In recent weeks, Dave has sported winter ski wear, gone ‘Laa Laa’ as Dipsy, created a flashback to the 70’s as disco Dave and turned Jurassic dressing as a dinosaur!
Dave has brought smiles to all his students’ faces during challenging times and it shows how a little imagination goes a long way to getting results. Who said learning isn’t fun?! And if you’re not convinced, see for yourself…
