Join TOSS ALI & platinum partner, Cambridge International Assessment Education, for a virtual workshop that will encourage an in-depth approach to active learning in school. During this event, we will consider the big ideas behind active learning and how to ensure that children think hard and are challenged at all levels. We will also consider the links between active learning, assessment for learning and metacognition to ensure an all-round approach to effective education. We’ll share progress in implementing active learning in our schools and try out practical strategies.
