The Motivated Classroom

12 ¦ Rehumanising the curriculum by teaching through narrative


Listen Later

Every subject, every syllabus, every curriculum has a story behind it. Its time we re-humanised the classroom and the curriculum. This episode focusses on how we can weave narrative back into our classes to engage our learners and have them come on a learning journey with us. During this episode I give a live example of how I take students into the curriculum using the 'four Ps' approach. Behind everything we teach in every subject there are:

  • People
  • Places
  • Problems
  • Possibilities
  • When we focus on this and allow students to become immersed in the story behind our content, we engage and motivate them. We hook them into the learning so they feel part of it throughout the entire unit. 

    For full details a list of these strategies, check out the programme notes with further information and links to research and resources at www.liamprinter.com/podcast.
