Making Learning Stick with Agile Teaching

Audience focus: Teachers of adult learners, Business English teachers, Teacher trainers, Freelance teachers

Abstract

This workshop shows you how an iterative teaching process inspired by agile project management leads to effective learning. It provides structure and flexibility and continuously adapts to learners’ needs, contexts and goals. The process is brought alive by team collaboration, co-creation and collective intelligence. The team monitors the learning process by defining indicators and observing the visible evidence of learning. This process is strengthened by useful insights from applied neuroscience.
