Think big? You can! Unlocking students’ potential
In a world where so much is handed to students ready-made, it’s easy for their curiosity, creativity and independent thinking to fade into the background. Yet these are exactly the skills our students need. In this lively, practical session, you’ll experience a range of activities that help students develop their critical thinking and creative expression in the classroom. We’ll explore simple ways to take everyday coursebook material and add a twist that boosts engagement, motivation and genuine thinking. Expect a mix of low-prep tasks and creative digital ideas you can take straight back to the classroom.
