Teachers being Students: Learning through Empathy

PDHPE staff took the deep dive and became students again to emphasise with challenges our boys face when completing an assessment task. Tinkering with the implications of their Year 7 Young Consumers unit on teaching, learning and assessment, staff walked away with a set of strategies and teaching activities that could be used in the classroom the following day.

These activities included:

• Pre-flection vlogging
• Examining Assessment protocol
• Two Stars & a Wish
• Empathy Mapping
• See Think Wonder
• 5 Whys

​More details about the workshop, as well as all the resources used, can be found in this website.
