Start a workshop with a classroom task

A planning page for professional learning rooted in teachers’ daily work.

Choose one recognizable classroom task as the starting point for a workshop. A specific task gives participants something concrete to examine together.

Describe the task

What is a teacher or learner trying to accomplish? Bring an example that can be shared appropriately, with identifying details removed when necessary.

Name a useful outcome

By the end of the session, participants should have tried, discussed, or revised…

Plan the sequence

  1. Introduce the task and the questions it raises.
  2. Let participants work with the example.
  3. Compare the decisions they made.
  4. Discuss uncertainty, access, and practical constraints.
  5. Give participants time to adapt the idea for their setting.

Leave room for follow-up

Ask each participant to name one small next step and one question they want to revisit. Agree on how the group will share observations after trying the idea.
