Putting Listening into Learning v6p

This unit explores how you might build the habit of Listening in your students.

Sections 1 – 4 look at;

  1. Listening and how it develops. The Listening progression chart. Unpick the meaning of Listening, how it develops over time and use the Listening chart to plot where your students are now.
  2. Taking Listening into classroom culture. Classroom activities. Offers numerous suggestions to develop a Listening friendly culture and build students’ Listening skills.
  3. Blending Listening with content. Dual focused lesson. Suggests a series of questions and steps you might use to ensure the development of Listening claims its place in the curriculum and is designed into lesson/activities to aid understanding.
  4. Team reflection and planning.  Share the impact of your experiments with colleagues and plan what you need to do next.

The resource materials in the Learning Diary: Listening  help you to distil important messages, home in on the key bits of information and design learning experiments specifically for you.
