About the workshops

This set of resources contains materials to support trainers in developing workshops for teachers to help them understand the innovations and the research, and to implement these ideas in their practice. A suggested structure is that there are two workshops, the first introducing the ideas and providing opportunities for teachers to consider these in relation to their existing practice. They plan and evaluate a trial lesson, which forms a focus for the second workshop in which they plan further work. The materials included are:
  • Trainers’ Notes  These give further information about the innovations and the research, the rationale of the workshop and notes on the activities. These are supported by the trainers’ downloadable Briefing Sheets, which give detailed information about all these aspects.
  • Briefing Sheets  These contains background activities for the trainer to use to support them in managing the workshop activities. They include edited materials from the relevant STTIS reports. Being fairly substantial, these are not used for web pages, but are available as downloadable documents from the website.
  • Teachers’ Workshop 1  This section contains an introduction to the nature and purposes of the workshop, and all of the activity sheets for teachers. These materials are available both as web pages and as downloadable documents from the website.
  • Teachers’ Workshop 2  As for Workshop 1, these activities are be available as web pages and downloadable documents.
  • Activity Resources  This section contains additional material which is required by teachers as part of workshop activities. Like the Briefing Sheets, they include edited materials from the STTIS reports, and are not used for web pages, but are available as downloadable files.
