(PLTM) - As schools reopen across the Territory, educators are being encouraged to include outside resources as they plan to deliver the most effective classroom experiences. Acting Chief Education Officer, Orlandette Crabbe explained that by incorporating external materials and resources, they can enhance lessons, captivate students' interest, and foster a deeper understanding of the subjects you teach.
“Infuse your teaching with the power of outside resources to create engaging and impactful learning. The world is a vast reservoir of knowledge, waiting to be tapped into for the benefit of education,” Crabbe told educators during the Professional Day event.
Crabbe encouraged educators to invite guest presenters, utilise online learning platforms, include documentaries and videos, summon cultural and industry experts and incorporate global perspectives to showcase diverse viewpoints.
She stated that utilising external resources demonstrates a commitment to providing a holistic and dynamic learning experience.
“Our students need you to venture outside the four walls of your classrooms. As a new school year begins, I urge you to break free from the confines of your classroom's four walls and embrace the transformative potential of experiential learning,” Crabbe stated.
As a Ministry, Crabbe stated that they too have been challenged to get out of the comfort zone, to utilise outside resources, venture outside the four walls of the ministry and think outside the box.
