Resource information

Daniel Rabbett, a secondary school teacher, demonstrates how to facilitate a range of classroom activities that gives students opportunities to consolidate their understandings of key concepts in a Year 12 Physics lesson.

Daniel promotes a collaborative and safe learning environment for his students to actively demonstrate their understandings in an inclusive group setting. Daniel’s style of effective teaching instruction prompts students to take ownership of their learning, encouraging agency in showcasing their knowledge to the class or to use the classroom activities as an opportunity to learn from their peers to strengthen their understandings at an individual level.
