About Course

The STTAR self-paced learning module on ‘Active Learning’ examines what exactly it means for a child to be ‘actively’ learning. Besides studying the general benefits of Active Learning and the shifts we should be ready for, the course will cover several easy-to-use strategies along with examples across subjects and grades. It will reveal useful techniques to reach out to maximum number of students in your class. Some of the key areas that will be simply and vividly explained include: questioning styles, prompts that trigger thinking, diverse activities that can be employed at various stages of the lesson (beginning, middle and end), the art of staying on track with the desired learning outcomes and the all-important relationship between the lesson plan, the learning outcome and assessment.
