Presenter:
Cameron Paterson This engaging and informative course provides a toolbox of inspirational strategies to engage students in learning. Making use of research from Harvard University, this course shows teachers how to design powerful learning experiences by following students' thinking instead of leading it. We will learn how to use thinking routines and how to create classroom conditions that support group learning. Connections will be drawn to neuroscience research and the course concludes by utilising tips from research into successful HSC teaching. You will leave with a wealth of innovative, practical teaching strategies grounded in theory. The course will be relevant for all secondary teachers. (Previously named Impact Teaching)
What to bring:A pen and some writing paper.

  | The content is exactly what I need right now. Cameron made me feel instantly at ease and open-minded through his enthusiastic, informed and practical approach. |
| My third workshop with Cameron. A fantastic presenter who passionately seeks to assist to improve our teaching and learning. |
| I thought it was informative without being overwhelming., clear and practical. |
  | Good combination of practical and thoretical activities. |
| Makes you think and helps you ask how to make the kids think. |
| This presentation was excellent - grounded in theory but with a lot of practical suggestions. It did assume 'perfect' student behaviour though, so some behaviour management strategies would be extremely valuable to support. |
| Fantastic fast-paced and informative session with REAL examples of how to get to my students thinking. |
