The Richness of Contextual Knowledge

The Richness of Contextual Knowledge

Have you ever come away from a lesson thinking you'd taught it really well, only to mark the students' books and find out it didn't land with everyone?

If so, you're not the first, and you won't be the last.

Before marking those books, if I asked you to reflect on the experience of a random learner chosen retrospectively, would your awareness of them during the lesson enable you to accurately predict their written response? Lesson DnA enables you to take up that stimulating challenge.

It will guide you to analyse a range of attributes and situational variables, placing your educational influence under the microscope. You'll learn to tune into the process rather than waiting to find out the outcome.

Insights gleaned from your DnA analysis will ensure you're more alert and aware in subsequent lessons, allowing you to adapt in real time and respond in the moment.

You could keep on keeping on. No doubt, tomorrow, another series of lessons will come and go. Alternatively, you could invest time to explore the intricacies whilst the memory is still available to you. Tap into a learner’s experience of that lesson you have just taught.

The innovative DnA reflective tool doesn’t give you yet more knowledge framed as ‘know how to…’ and ‘know that…’ – there are plenty of resources covering those prominent aspects; it provides you with better knowledge because it is grounded in your context and relationships. The process is guaranteed to sharpen your perspective for future encounters.
