Putting Listening into Learning v6s

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. 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. Offers numerous suggestions to develop a questioning friendly culture and build students’ Listening skills.
  3. Blending Listening with content. 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.

You will probably need to spend more than an hour on sections 1-3. Section 1 may take about 20 minutes to get your head round.  Section 2 should take you about 20 minutes to brows. Section 3 needs at least a 35 minutes hard thinking and head scratching. Section 4 is a linked Professional Learning Team session which will have been organised to take place sometime after this on-line session, and should take about 75 minutes.
