Description
This workshop is to support teachers in engaging the less vocal students in classroom discussions and activities. By the end of this workshop, you will have a clear understanding of the various factors that can influence student participation, such as academic and cultural background, classroom climate, and psychological safety. You will learn how to apply targeted strategies to create a safer and more inclusive learning environment in which all students feel comfortable contributing. In addition, you will explore different techniques that encourage participation in multiple forms, allowing each student to engage in ways that suit them. Finally, you will be equipped to reflect critically on your own teaching practice and adjust it where necessary to support the diverse participation patterns within your classroom.
