  8. Risk taking – What do we mean by taking a risk? Julie’s example: Children running their own businesses

  9. Risk taking • What were the common themes between our lessons? Discuss on your tables.

  10. Let’s see how you got on – these are the themes we felt were common in the lessons… • Flexible and fluid; • Children were responsible for their own learning; • Teacher was the facilitator of learning rather than the imparter of knowledge; • Busy atmosphere; • Not all children sitting silently at their desks; • Mixed ability groups; • Well planned, but flexible in delivery; • Took a while to plan and prepare; • Required the support of good LSAs and SDs to help the children (again as facilitators); • Developing children’s confidence and independence – the attitude to ‘have a go!’; • Real-life learning • Children were engaged and inspired!

  11. Reflection time • In your journals reflect on a lesson where you have taken a risk and how it went. • Now you have 10 minutes to create a colourful ‘poster’ on sugar paper about a risk-taking lesson you have taught; ready to present to the others. • Think about… • What the lesson was and how you took a ‘risk’ (details of your lesson), • What went well and… • What would you change if you were to do the lesson again.

  12. Speed share • You have 3 minutes to explain your poster and answer questions to someone you haven’t spoken to today and then they will explain theirs for 3 minutes.

  13. Final thoughts on risk taking • How confident are you at taking risks? • What sort of risks are you happy to take at the moment? Share your thoughts in your journal…

  14. Inter-sessional task and our RQT blog! • Contribute an overview of a risk taking lesson to the blog that others can learn from. This might be a lesson(s) you have taught or a really useful strategy you use in your class; maybe both! • Write about it on the blog and be as detailed as possible; hopefully others will want to magpie it!
