How you can help?
• Class room requirements: book, BYOD, PENCIL & eraser (not just pens!)• Encourage conversation about HOW they are learning, not just what• Revising of videos, animations used in class- always available on Canvas• HWK: should be no anxiety about ‘getting it right’, rather having a stab!
- to consolidate (practice Qs); - reflective (considering how understanding is developing); - preparing (getting ready for next lesson)
