Education Innovation Rally 2024

Engaging young people in their learning is becoming more and more difficult. There are so many influences competing for their attention.

One way to improve the situation is through teacher-student collaboration which in turn, tends to be based upon questioning. However, the most common way to question students (Initiate-Respond-Evaluate) often reduces engagement and interest! During his presentation, James will give an insight into the research and offer some better ways forward.
