BESIG – Tangible takeaways every lesson: validating 1:1 classes

We often invest hours into planning; how exactly do our students benefit? Do we know? Do they?

Effective ‘planning’ in 1:1 is about preparation, flexibility and respectfulness. While classes can seem relaxed and content often unpredictable, it’s still crucial to determine valid takeaways and strategies for defining them.

This webinar looks at what 1:1 students often expect, with a little background theory to support planning vs. preparation. While we cannot not plan, we do need to employ flexible strategies, so that we can respond to student needs on the day.

So we’ll be looking at ways to tackle ‘the unexpected’, and I’ll be demonstrating a selection of tried and tested activities which respond to what our student might require there and then. Finally, I’ll focus on how we can define, with the student, specific, tangible and positive benefits.
