The training we deliver is very practical – lots of opportunities to experience activities you can use in your classroom, all designed to get children thinking. Here are some comments from the last school we worked with:
“Lots of practical ideas to use in the classroom… a mix of activities, theory and modelling.”
“Lots of opportunity to participate / discuss rather than just listening”
It is great to start a new term working with a big group of enthusiastic and thoughtful philosophers! That is exactly what happened on the training day in Stowmarket, Suffolk at the start of year. Two schools joined together for a training day, with a range of experience from those new to philosophy to some with many years of using this approach. For us, the enquiry is always the highlight of training days – Monday was no exception – one enquiry explored the nature of love and what unconditional love means, the second discussed the issue of family and the nature of “family”.
“A very informative day. The ideas and active sessions supported our background knowledge and inspired us to dig deeper in our practice”
“Well organised. Excellent content – took us through the whole process of a philosophy lesson and the thought processes behind it.”
“Good, clear presentation with many useful tips and suggestions. Very interesting, made me think!”
