CPD WORKSHOP 2 USING A CPD WORKSHOP PROGRAMME TO IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF CLASSROOM DIALOGUE SUPPORTED BY THE INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD

OUTLINE Introduction Activity 1 Activity 2 Activity 3 Lesson planning Ideas for follow up

WHAT IS THE CPD PROGRAMME ABOUT? BACKGROUND - A resource for school-based CPD (5 co-authors) has been published by Open University Press - The aims of this resource are: to guide us in building on what we do now by trying out some new ideas for using the IWB in our classroom; to offer a tool for analysing classroom interaction – how could using the IWB help to improve the quality? - It links to freely available online resourcesonline resources

CPD PROGRAMME ACTIVITIES AND BENEFITS CPD activitiesBenefits for teachers and schools  2 workshops: -May 15th -June 24th  1 ambassador  survey and interviews  reflecting and sharing  free CPD workshops  the CPD resource books  development of own dialogic teaching practice  access to a resource bank  a report

ACTIVITY 1 - DISCUSSION CLASSROOM DIALOGUE SO FAR…  Have you used classroom dialogue supported by the IWB in lessons? If yes, how? Concrete examples.  Were there any benefits in using dialogue supported by the IWB as a tool for learning?  Were there any challenges in using dialogue supported by the IWB as a tool for learning?

ACTIVITY 2 - SHARING and REFLECTING CLASSROOM DIALOGUE SO FAR… Share your concrete examples Questions, comments, reflections

VIDEO EXAMPLE 1 Group interaction at the interactive whiteboard A clip illustrating a group interaction at the interactive whiteboard. Students modelled some of the features of classroom dialogue demonstrated by their teachers e.g. changing their mind and checking for agreement/disagreement.clip

VIDEO EXAMPLE 2 Brainstorming ideas as a class using the interactive whiteboard A clip from a history lesson on causes of wars illustrating co-construction of knowledge through acceptance of students’ ideas and building on each other’s ideas.clip

VIDEO EXAMPLE 3 Drawing objects on the interactive whiteboard together: collectively constructing knowledge This clip illustrates how students are building on each other’s ideas as they create a joint picture of a trench – this is a nonverbal kind of 'dialogue.clip

VIDEO EXAMPLE 4 Dialogue after interactive whiteboard use in a secondary history class This clip illustrates the rich dialogue that ensued when the teacher posed the question ‘Is it possible for us to imagine the experience of trench warfare?’ after using a variety of multimedia resources on the interactive whiteboard in the previous two lessons. clip

ACTIVITY 3 - DISCUSSION - How did the clips illustrate the use of the IWB for supporting dialogic teaching? - - Discuss how useful/feasible these activities and strategies are in your own setting.

THINK ABOUT AN UP AND COMING LESSON OF YOUR OWN … Explore the ’Resource Bank’ and collection of video clipsResource Bank’  Are any of these ideas useful to you?  What other applications of them can you think of?  What might be effective with your particular students?

IDEAS FOR FOLLOW UP For my lessons… For my year group/subject For our school…

School policy Student responsibility Support staff (TAs etc.) Plan for discussion Teacher ready to learn, to change Derived from Diane Rawlins' table, here are some concrete, specific elements that can foster dialogic teaching and learning. Activity Can we 1) mind-map detail about our own school and practice for the future – from September 2014? Subject knowledge
