1. Connect • On your Own – think of 2 conditions which promote or enhance learning. • In pairs – list 4 such conditions. (Have you used any techniques described by Kev or James? How have they gone?)

2. Big Picture / Outcomes Today’s session Introduce the accelerated learning cycle and explain why I think it is valuable and show you why I think it is successful. Give you time to analyse the structure and discuss different teaching techniques that could be incorporated. Describe some techniques that I have used to develop and demonstrate learning Evaluate the session Set you a challenge

3. Big Picture / Outcomes The Accelerated Learning Cycle Why am I talking to you about the Accelerated Learning Cycle?

4. Big Picture / Outcomes Data from trial

5. Big Picture / Outcomes Outcomes ALL Everybody will experience what the Accelerated Learning Cycle is and should be able to describe what it is by the end of the session. MOST I would like most people to be able to explain how different and varied teaching techniques can be used within it’s structure and think about how they could use it in a lesson. SOME I would love some people to be able to evaluate whether it would be useful in their teaching and to go and try and plan a lesson using the accelerated learning lesson planning sheet.
