Active Listening for Active Learning Digital Resource

The resource is crammed with practical activities, strategies and resources for preschool, mainstream and special school settings. With strong themes of peer support, teamwork and inclusion throughout. Active Listening for Active Learning may be the first step towards restoring the self-esteem of children who are finding the classroom an overwhelming rather than enjoyable challenge.

The digital format of the resource enables subscribers to find, view, select and print just the pages or sections needed for upcoming activities. The resource includes materials to assist staff in identifying the children who need additional support. Teachers and assistants see these children struggle to maintain focus and rely heavily on support and prompting. Simple observation schedules can alert staff to the fact that difficulties observed in the classroom may in fact be secondary to a hidden language processing difficulty. A range of informal assessments will allow teachers, teaching assistants or practitioners to record individual children’s performance and subsequent progress.

Activities are coded for individual, group and whole-class support so that children who need one-to-one support are able to transfer their learning into the classroom. When necessary, children are taken back to basics to plug gaps in their early language development in preparation for the more sophisticated active listening skills that underpin successful learning. Ultimately these strategies benefit all children as the emphasis is on becoming active agents in their own learning.
