Use the menu bar at the top of the screen to browse the different teaching tips we have currently on the site, these are always being added and are constantly being reviewed to make sure these tips are practical and impactful for the students in your classes.
2 - Record what happened
Use this record document to write down and record how the tip worked in your lesson. What was good about it how did it impact your lesson? Was anything about it not useful? It is important to get down as much as you can to help you reflect on your lesson
3 - Reflect, reflect, reflect
Reflect on the tip. Did it make the impact you expected, how could you adapt what you currently do to include it. We do not believe in wholesale change, however, making some small changes to your practice could result in some big changes.
