Activity icon.png Group discussion (10 min). As a group discuss the following:

  • What was the objective of the new activity/lesson?
  • How have activities/lessons been interactive?
  • What lesson plans have you been creating?
  • How do you think the lesson went? In particular, how did learners respond?
  • What would you change if you taught this again?
Educator note

Skip the next activity if you feel participants already have a good grasp of what interactive teaching is like.

Activity icon.png Small group activity (10 min). Moving towards interactive teaching. We mentioned last time that interactive teaching involves moving from “telling” to “listening.” Discuss in a small group what other words you feel might describe the difference between traditional approaches and interactive teaching? What are the two kinds of classroom like? Can everyone come up and write a word or phrase for each approach?

Educator note

Some contrasts people might make (let them suggest their own terms):

  • passive - active
  • quiet - noisy
  • individual - collaborative

Note: these are not value judgments - they can be positive or negative in different circumstances!
