<p>This Learning Mind-Map began as a discussion with a Year 5 class about effective learning. As the children suggested ideas I began to build a mind map on the (regular) whiteboard, and then I took a photo of the board at the end of the lesson.</p> <p>In the next few lessons, even as we continued our regular subject learning, we suggested additional ideas for the mind map whenever something else came to mind and I then went away and added the new content digitally to the image I had captured.</p> <p>In this final version you can clearly see the original content that began life on a classroom whiteboard… but ultimately I built it up with considerably more material.</p> <p>I hope you find this useful, either for your own teaching or for sharing with colleagues or students. It could also be used as a basis for training.</p> <ul> <li></li> </ul> <p>Here are some contexts in which the mind map could be used:<br /> – in teacher-training, to efficiently introduce various forms of teaching and learning<br /> – by individual teachers, as a stimulus for more powerful and effective practice<br /> – in staff meetings, to prompt and support discussion and ideas-sharing around teaching-and-learning issues<br /> – as a springboard for Inset sessions<br /> – as a tool for focusing Performance Management interviews<br /> – to support CPD<br /> *<br /> You will see that I have included some references, to enable you to do a bit of further reading and research.</p>
