Engagement 

Offer options and supports  to stimulate motivation and sustained enthusiasm for learning.

Getting Student Interest

Learning Purpose

As well as a learning objective, inform students why the lesson is relevant.

Challenge


Ladder of Tasks

The purpose of a ladder of tasks is for students to progress from simple closed questions to more open ended and reasoning based questions.

Motivation


Wall of Greatness

A recognition wall is used to gradually add the names of students who have consistently shown positive behaviour and effort in class. They are also rewarded with a postcard sent home.

Maths Hook

A hook is a real life problem used near the beginning of a lesson to show students the purpose of what they are about to learn.

Recognition Spinner

A recognition spinner consists of the names of students who have shown positive attributes.  The spinner selects a student at random which leads to them having a prize.

Writing Hook

Writing hooks are used to create curiosity on the writing theme.  These could be pictures, videos, music, and more.
