Many creative solutions are available nowadays to help teachers motivate their students, but sometimes it’s hard to incorporate them into lessons. This course tackles the notion of innovation which is equally important for teachers and students. On the one hand, educators can use a selection of new methods, activities, and tools that can enhance their teaching, making topics more real and relevant. On the other hand, learners need to become more active, creative, and innovative, in order to link subjects to real-life situations, gather information through critical thinking, and solve modern-day problems. During this course, participants will explore new design strategies and lesson plans to enhance their teaching and encourage their students to be more innovative and motivated. The course will offer a series of practical, hands-on activities and group discussions to incorporate into teaching design-related skills, creative activities, contextual learning, role-playing, digital solutions, and thought-provoking exercises. Participants will learn how to adapt them to their specific learning goals so that they can actually use them in their classrooms. By the end of the course, participants will have gained useful insight into different ways of expanding and updating their teaching toolbox. They will take away a variety of new lesson plans and activities that they can use in their classrooms, to make them more active, creative, and innovative.
