REDI for the classroom

REDI for the classroom - this video and facilitator guide aim to provide teachers with opportunities to enhance their use of strategies for active and inclusive student centred learning. Through a set of workshop activities and video triggers, teachers who provide drug education related activities can consider their own strategies and techniques for fostering learning, belonging and participation within their classrooms.

It consists of:

  • a video, made up of three short trigger segments
  • a facilitator guide, which provides background information on the REDI professional development resources, guidelines for using the accompanying video, workshop activities, handouts and a set of overhead transparencies.

 

The video

The video runs for approximately 28 minutes and consists of three trigger segments:

  • Segment 1: Teaching and drug education - views on effective school drug education practice
  • Segment 2: Using interactive and inclusive strategies - examples of interactive and inclusive teaching strategies in three classrooms - upper primary, lower secondary and upper secondary
  • Segment 3: Building interactions and skills - same classes as in Segment 2, but involving more complex group activities around problem solving and decision-making
