A Presentation that includes interactive activities which can be used as Lesson Starters in a Creative Classroom. These Starters can be used in the Classroom: 1. To prepare learners for new learning. 2. To revisit and practice important skills. 3. To consolidate knowledge from or make links with previous lessons (bridging). 4. To enable pupils to get a better grasp on each return to an idea or concept. 5. To make constructive use of time while pupils shift between one intensive activity to another. 6. When a disruption unsettles a class and they need to ease quickly back into productive work. Because of their short duration: 1. They are particularly useful for little and often revisiting of keywords and concepts. 2. They are useful as brain-break activities. 3. They contribute to engagement by offering a sense of fun. 4. They whether competitive or collaborative, often have the feel of a game.

Inquiry-based learning (also enquiry-based learning in British English) starts by posing questions, problems or scenarios—rather than simply presenting established facts or portraying a smooth path to knowledge. The process is often assisted by a facilitator. This Resource Covers: 1. Meaning of IBL 2. Why Inquiry 3. Inquiry Components and Procedures 4. Inquiry Levels and Benefits 5. Facilitator's and Learner's Role 6. Inquiry Challenges and Outcomes 7. Resources to Implement IBL

Utility-Based Learning provides a pedagogical, self-contained discussion of probability estimation methods via a coherent approach from the viewpoint of a decision maker who acts in an uncertain environment. This approach is motivated by the idea that probabilistic models are usually not learned for their own sake; rather, they are used to make decisions. This Resource Covers: 1. Meaning of UBL 2.

This Resource Covers: SBL: Skills-based learning centers on developing and applying specific skills that can then be used to obtain the required knowledge. The classroom environment will encourage independence, as well as combining active-learning and collaboration to help the children retain the knowledge. This process allows the pupils to access, process and then express the knowledge they have learnt rather than simply writing it down. 1. Meaning of Skills-Based Learning 2. Skills-Based Learning Focus 3. Skills-Based Learning Process SBL: Students ‘learning to be something’ (Studio) rather than ‘learning about something’ (Lab). 1. Principles of Studio-Based Learning 2.

Value-Based Learning is an approach to teaching that works with values. It creates a strong learning environment that enhances academic attainment and develops students' social and relationship skills that last throughout their lives. The positive learning environment is achieved through the positive values modeled by staff throughout the school. It quickly liberates teachers and students from the stress of confrontational relationships, which frees up substantial teaching and learning time. It also provides the social capacity to students, equipping them with social and relationship skills, intelligence and attitudes to succeed in school and throughout their lives.

A Presentation that presents Facts in the form of Did You Know? Questions. This Presentation includes 60 slides that present facts with figures. Teachers can use this resource to stimulate curiosity among the learners, thereby helping them to enhance their general knowledge.

Knowledge-based learning is learning that revolves around both the knowledge that the student already has, and the understanding that they are going to achieve by doing work. When learning is based on the knowledge that students already have, and knowledge they are going to be achieving, the learning is better connected to real life. This Resource Covers: 1.

This is learning from home rather than at a campus where you attend classes. It gives you the flexibility to fit study around your other commitments including family, work or recreational activities. Home-based learning doesn’t need to be like school; instead, it can be a continuation of how your family lived before your children became “school age.” This Resource Covers: 1. Meaning of HBL 2.
