Hopes & Fears
You have all been provided with two
templates – a sun and a cloud – and
some Blutak
On the sun, write your main hope for
the course and …
… on the cloud write your major fear
Once you have completed them,
please Blutak them in the spaces
indicated by your tutor.
Ground Rules
Working in small groups try to identify the
main ‘ground rules’ you would want for this
group.
You can think of these either in terms of
things you would want people to do (e.g.
respect everyone’s opinions) or things you wouldn’t
want them to do (e.g. don’t swear)
We will then feedback suggestions from
the groups to come up with an overall set
of agreed ground rules for our group
Learning Styles
How do you like to learn?
Completion of Learning Styles
questionnaires
How do Learning Styles affect your
planning for teaching & learning?
Working individually, choose one topic from
your curriculum area & consider how you
would make it appropriate for all learning
styles.
