Who created the tutorial?
All the content has been created by Richard Andrew. Richard has enjoyed 20+ years in the classroom (6 as a Head of Department) and has been running Professional Development for teachers since 2007. Can I download the tutorial and access it later? There's no need to download anything as the tutorial is a webpage. However, regardless of whether you access it now or later, save the tutorial's URL in a safe place (e.g. favourites) for future reference. |
How long will take me to complete the tutorials?
In order to glean the 'gold' from the tutorial, you need to take your time and spend 20 - 25 minutes absorbing the information. I'm an experienced teacher. How likely am I to want to implement the approach in the tutorial? Your decision to implement will depend on your desire to better-engage students, not your level of experience. If you are open to new strategies that work, then you'll likely adopt this one! |
Testimonials (from related course)
Every maths teacher needs to take this course. It doesn’t matter if you are new to teaching or have been teaching for 30 years – this course will make you think about teaching for understanding and hence generate an open, engaged learning environment. It is a hands-on, practical course that creates opportunities to make genuine changes in your classroom as you go.
Richard has a great understanding of the needs of a classroom teacher and the challenges that we all face. He provides us with strategies that are easy to implement. The course is a pleasure to take, rather than work. Every part of it is well-thought out, interesting and extremely practical. It requires you to stop regularly and reflect on different aspects of your own teaching style. Feedback from others taking the course also regularly happens which is really encouraging. You will not go back to your old ways after taking this course and your students will be the ones who benefit from that. Debra Penny, Head of Mathematics, Bacchus Marsh Grammar, Victoria
I enjoyed the course as I was able to put into practise the things I was reading and it worked. I started off being wary as I never had the confidence to change my style of teaching, but the videos were so easy to follow I attempted the ideas put forward and basically they worked. With continued organisational skills on my behalf I know there is a lot more I can achieve within the realms of the ideas of this course. I also like getting feedback whenever I posted something and it motivated me to keep navigating through the course to get finished. It was really user-friendly as I am not good at technology but managed this course relatively well, and also knowing Richard answered emails immediately if there were difficulties. Gail Bachmann, Kesser Torah College, May 2019
This was my first 'Learn, implement, share' course that I have worked on. I find that any other time I have completed an online course, I race through it and never see any real point or practical application that I haven't already discovered in my own experience through common sense and trial and error. So far with this course, I have genuinely read every single word of each page and it held my attention. My pet hate is completing a course that is a waste of my time and energy. I would much prefer to use that time planning and implementing quality lessons for my students. Your course allows me time to do just that, whilst inspiring new angles of thinking. Thank you for a very positive and worthwhile experience! Stacey Ward, Cessnock High School, January 2019
This is the best course I have ever done! A course so incredibly well organised, with terrific instructional videos, thought-provoking exercises and constant constructive feedback. This course has been an eye-opener in the most fundamental of ways - our humanity and our kindness can change lives. Thank you, Richard, Brigid Mora (Head of Welfare), Kingswood High School, June 2017
