Adrian Underhill - Demand High 2

International House Directors of Studies Conference 2013. Adrian Underhill was kindly sponsored by Macmillan Education.
Part of the activity of academic leadership is enabling and coaching teachers to optimize their performance so they feel fully engaged and successful in challenging their learners, and in expecting and demanding the highest quality of learning that their students are capable of.
• Are we challenging the full learning potential of the students in our classes?
• Might our learners be capable of much more than we (or they) imagine possible?
• Would it be possible to offer a greater number of challenging but doable demands to each of them?
• How can we recognise if our classrooms are places of high and appropriate demand or of routinised low demand ...and what can we do about it?

This is a great webinar, but I wish I could hear the participants.

Thanks for your feedback! This was a presentation recorded at one of our member conferences and we didn't have microphones for the audience back then. You'll be glad to hear this has been changed so we won't have this problem in the future :)

same in the game infamous on ps3 i was playing the other day- be famous or infamous in the world and having back up in this world doesn't mean your not untouchable- and have referendums or like red dead redemption- pardon letter that was 1914 ad different times different days

Excellent lesson, but I thought the "hurt" would be done by Harmer. Okay, I'll walk myself out now...

nice

[@Kameleonic]

Only one complaint: he often tries eliciting responses he expects to get, but doesn't get them. He thinks we know what he wants us to say. Time gets wasted.

[@nataliyavinogradova8397]
