Entrpreneurial Educators - The Pitch!

Well done everyone.  I don’t know about you but I found last night’s class pretty full on and quite demanding.

Everyone worked hard but I especially enjoyed the pitches from Dawn, Andy and Nia.  I thought they had really thought about how they could improve their current teaching practice.  I was impressed that Dawn had identified how she really improve the learning experience of her learners and how they could apply what they had learnt to make a difference in their real lives.  She had even gone a step further by talking to the prison governor so that her ideas could be applied rather than just being an activity she planned in order to fulfil the needs of an assignment.  Andy, again, had really thought about the needs of his learners and how he could meet these needs in a creative and interesting way.  This showed that he had a great deal of understanding and respect for his subject and his learners.  The pitch was clear, concise and thought provoking but was delivered with a good sense of fun so it was enjoyable to listen to.  Nia showed, in my opinion anyway, that she had understood the brief and delivered exactly what was required.  She gave real life practical examples of how she could improve her current practices and make them more relevant, creative and innovative.
