The nature of our resource is a practical invitation to try out interactive teaching. | The nature of our resource is a practical invitation to try out interactive teaching. | ||
We envisage | We envisage this resource to be used in a variety of circumstances, most likely by individual teachers, groups of teachers, or teacher educators. We also assume that in some sense you are a practising teacher, and are able to put what you have learnt into practise, for instance in the context of running a programme at your school, or during teaching practice. | ||
The programme is main mode of delivery would be as weekly, or bi-weekly workshops, for all teachers at the school, over the course of one or two years. However, you can use the programme in other ways, such as running a few sessions, dipping in and out of this programme. | |||
The programme is intended to be used by teachers, and would typically be facilitated by one or two teachers at the school, working with a larger group of teachers. While you could use the programme individually, and would hopefully find some inspiration from it, we recommend that you use the programme at least in a pair of teachers, so that you are both able to give and receive feedback. | The programme is intended to be used by teachers, and would typically be facilitated by one or two teachers at the school, working with a larger group of teachers.

If you are facilitating the programme (working with a group of teachers) we recommend that you facilitate the programme as a pair of facilitators. This is advantageous as you can prepare sessions together, take turns in the workshop, as well as give and receive feedback on how the sessions went. | If you are facilitating the programme (working with a group of teachers) we recommend that you facilitate the programme as a pair of facilitators.

Rationale for workshop - modelling practices in the workshop that teachers are supposed to implement in the school. | |||
How do you do a whole-school process at your school? Who needs to be involved? | |||
Make sure that you are clear about the difference between "interactive pedagogy", and "interactive computer applications" (such as certain types of multi-media, e.g. interactive video). In this professional learning resource, "interactive" always means "interactive pedagogy", i.e. people interacting with each other, not one person interacting with a computer application. | |||
