Independent Learning

  • Space travelling.
  • This session has been an eye-opener, because the ideology is quite simple, which begs the questions why haven’t we been doing this for some time??
  • My learners are very dependent on me through my own fault. I will definitely make the changes to start my lesson off wanting to know more and end the lesson wanting to learn without me by their side.
  • A well-educated and articulate lecturer.
  • ‘Cross the carpet’ – you’ve changed my journey!
  • This has been a strataphonic journey to rewriting LOs and seeking curious learning.
  • Made me a little more confident in stretching my learning and teaching methods because I feel constrained by the observation process. My superior judges my ability as a teacher against what is on their paperwork.
  • I will refine my learning outcomes and change how AI start/finish my lessons so that I encourage curiosity.
  • I feel I have learned so much in this session, which I will incorporate in my future lessons.
  • Being hit with the ‘reminder’ stick…
  • Developing our ‘teacher toolkit’ regionally to incorporate this.
  • Liked the interactive approach to the session, I am normally a fidgety student, but you kept my interest and attention. Thank you.
  • Thank you so much for reminding me why I became a teacher and NOT to teach a curriculum, but to encourage independent learners to become curious!
  • Great session, interesting, thank you Tony.
  • Ping moments.
  • Will be putting more thought into outcomes to create interest and curiosity.
  • Insights into how to improve written learning objectives and to promote independent learning skills.
  • Thinking outside the box.
  • Worthwhile – thanks Tony!]
  • Great session, very engaging, which is the point of the outcomes. Lots of realisation about what we already do.
  • Inspired. Teach them to become independent.
  • Lots to reflect on now.
  • Don’t use a full stop at the end of learning. Try to make sure they think about how they could next develop their skills.
  • Inspiring, enlightening, challenged my established beliefs.
  • Fantastic NEW ideas to allow for teaching and learning whilst possibly taking a risk.
  • I will be able to support colleagues to think differently about developing independence. Really thought provoking.
  • Inspirational. I could listen to this subject all day.
  • Very interesting morning, taking lots away to help improve my teaching and learning.
  • More independent learning.
  • I will embed the Meerkat Moment. I would love my learners to be curious at the beginning and the end of the session.
  • I really enjoyed this session, it was very informative and I have a list of things I will research tonight. Thank you.
  • Delivery of the session was passionate and energetic.
  • It pointed at things that I thought I was doing to develop independence but actually don’t and how I can change it to show independence.
  • I am always learning! I will focus on adapting LOs to reflect the change I hope to see in learners’ attitude to learning.
  • I am going to look at how I start and finish lessons.
  • A new idea is a spark that lights an eternal flame.
  • Incorporation of attitudinal objectives (covertly). Reviewing strategies to get ‘the difference’.
  • Implementing the Expert learning traits – Blueprint.
  • Dependence is a constrictive boa around the neck of the learner.
  • I will explore taking more risks and encouraging my learners to do so. Also look at changing setting learner goals.
  • More open loops at the start of my lesson. Rethink my learning outcomes.
  • My new learning shone from behind the grey cloud with promise.
  • Session openers – moving away from beginning a lesson with aims and objectives. Exploring ways to hook learners from the start and develop their curiosity.
  • A fantastic, engaging and thought-provoking session. Thank you.
  • Considering the expert learning traits and starting to consider how strategies can be developed.
  • I thought it was brilliant! It was great to hear other people thinking this way about learning. I feel isolated in this method in my department.
  • I work in an environment that has crippled tutors desire to take risks with their lessons. I want to help them to develop their skills in improving independence. They are probably scared of change – it will take time.
  • I was tired, but this caused me to wake up.
  • Mind and eye opening.
  • I intend to take a lot if not all of the points covered today and implement them into my own teaching – The mind map: fabulous!
  • Like finding a new level of abstraction – for instance, when you can generalise an action in a computer program to make a function. Understanding the structure of learning better.
  • More use of attitudinal learning objectives. Reduce my own ‘mouse-grabbing’! Interesting to hear you mention NLP – there are some good ideas there.
  • I have some much to think about today that I have no metaphors. Unusual, since I use them all the time in my teaching.
  • Writing and discussing attitudes and skills was a valuable exercise and will be something that I will be evaluating. I shall be reviewing plenary attitudes to finishing lessons. Thank you very much for the time taken and the enthusiastic delivery.
  • Torn! I will ask them more questions at plenary.
  • How to encourage learners’ curiosity in my lessons. I really enjoyed it!
  • A journey through experiences.
  • Developed my understanding of planning. Very interesting. Delivered at a suitable pace.
  • My Lego house has just had an extension to improve the value.
  • Think about being more creative in planning learning. Getting to the outcome without ‘normal’ teaching techniques and attitudes.
  • It was not the catch, but the chase.
  • Instructive, informative.
  • I will use new strategies I learned today, in the future education.
  • I think I’ve had a light-bulb moment!
  • It has made me aware of the negative impact of the teaching strategies we already use in offender learning and made me curious as to how we can change what we do to help learners work towards independent learning.
  • I am curious and curiouser… and hope my students become the same – thanks!!
  • Trust in myself more, I do a lot of this already. Now I will be more self-aware when doing it.
  • I will push them to be more self-aware and critical thinkers.
  • Very positive learning experience. Give more time for exploration.
  • Positive evaluation for the effects to learning and review of teaching strategies.
  • Change my learning outcomes and pass this on to my team.
  • Thank you! I found the session very useful in clarifying what I can apply to my own practice to see the behavioural changes in my learners – or try to!
  • Made me think about my learners. Are they curious in my lesson and whether they leave my session as a different person?
