About this course
You've spotted the VAT calculation and the email to an awkward client, and your learners did them well. Two weeks later, in their English or maths class, it's as if it never happened.
Six simple habits help close that gap, among them quick retrieval starters and questions that make learners think hard, like "what would happen if your angle wasn't 90 degrees?". You'll also see how to work with the English and maths specialists as a two-way conversation, so their classroom and your workshop point in the same direction. And it covers targets, feedback and motivation that fit vocational learners, including getting them to check their own work the way a good quality control manager would.
There's also a practical look at how British values can feed good discussion and real maths, like comparing renting with buying a home.
- For early career teachers, governors and 2 other roles. Post-16.
