I was initially a bit skeptical of the course concept having had mixed results from conceptual learning approaches before. I can definitely now see the advantages of how this topic lends itself so well to the idea. Very excited to see it implemented and how it fosters student engagement and learning. I really enjoyed learning this course myself - love how it is self-paced in itself! Great collection of ideas and resources. So happy to complete some useful PD! |

This course had me rethink my teaching strategies and consider how to better engage the students - especially the more advanced ones. I really did like the assessment task presented on video and saw the value of the experimentation that took place by the students. While some information presented was new and challenging for me, other information was affirming and encouraging to maintain those practices. |

I am so glad that I decided to partake in this course and learning what 'conceptual learning' is all about. I ran this approach with my class and have found this learning concept a wonderful tool to use. Teaching students linear relationships can always be a daunting topic, but with this course and the materials available, my student's have learnt this unit in an investigative approach. When I link material into the course like the gradient, distance and midpoint and get the light bulb moment from my students and know that I have not taught this the old fashioned way, I get such gratification about it!
The online course it easy to understand and it progressively gets you working through the areas, no problems. The facilitators are always ready to help. Great course, Thanks!
