I would like to express my very deep gratitude to the following staff of George Cosbuc and Emanuel High Schools in Bucharest who translated these materials. Your generosity is an inspiration to us all!

Paul Bochian, Maria Constantinescu, Miheala Popescu, Elena Radulescu, Livia Rosu, Dana Vazan, Cecilia Lunga . I would also like to thank Simon Parker who has managed the translation process with such rigour and enthusiasm.

These are active learning methods to experiment with:

Many topics can be taught by matching and grouping cards:

These are ways for presenting students with new material without teacher talk which is called 'Teaching Without Talking':
25waysRO.doc
To use powerful visual methods:

These downloads are about the theory of active learning:
This shows a modern theory that describes what learning really is:
constructivism_diag2[1]RO.doc

This shows examples of learning not being just remembering, but being an active meaning making proess.
Personalized_kn…ledge1[1]RO.doc

This shows that high order tasks on Bloom's taxonomy are required for real understanding:
The_Jabberwocky…roblem[1]RO.doc

This shows what happens if you don't teach students with high order tasks:
oht_gardener_an…tivity[1]RO.doc

This sumarises research on what percentage of a lesson students can recall two days after a teaching method was used:
The_Learning_Pyramid[1RO.doc

This shows that Robert a low ability learner can learn almost as well as Susan a highly motivated student if the right methods are used:
Robert_susan[1]RO.doc

This is a model of effective lessons:
PAR[1]RO.doc

These are games you can play to teach staff about active learning:
You can print and cut out these cards, shuffle them, and then ask groups of teachers to match a recall-rate card with the right teaching method card.
recall_pyramid_gameRO.doc

Then you can compare the teachers' ideas with the research, which is sumarised in this handout:
The_Learning_Pyramid[1RO.doc

The dangers of settinglow level tasks can be explored with this activity for teachers:
The_Jabberwocky…roblem[1]RO.doc

These are about how to give praise and reinforcement: This has a large effect on motivation and quality of learning.
