I would like to use structured dialogue strategies such as Socratic seminars to support students in discussing controversial issues in a respectful and evidence-based way. This approach encourages critical thinking, active listening, and consideration of multiple perspectives. I would also incorporate diverse historical sources, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, to ensure inclusive and balanced discussions.

Dialogue circles provide children with opportunities to share their ideas, thoughts, and perspectives while listening to others. This approach creates a safe and respectful environment where children feel secure, valued, and confident to express themselves. Dialogue circles also support turn-taking, empathy, and respectful communication.

Excursions and incursions expose children to new and meaningful experiences that spark curiosity and excitement.

Group learning experiences allow children to collaborate, share ideas, and learn from one another. Working in groups supports the development of friendships, communication skills, and mutual understanding, while fostering cooperation and a sense of belonging within the learning environment.

The "Co-Design" Model

Instead of delivering a pre-packaged unit of work, teachers involve students in the planning phase of a curriculum topic.

At the start of a new unit (e.g., "Sustainability"), the teacher presents the core learning outcomes and asks students to vote on or suggest the methods of learning—such as a community garden project versus a digital awareness campaign.

Socratic Seminars (Inner and Outer Circles)

This is a formal discussion model where the teacher acts only as a facilitator, not a participant.

Students sit in two concentric circles. The inner circle discusses a complex text or controversial issue using evidence-based arguments, while the outer circle observes and takes notes on the quality of the dialogue. After 15 minutes, the circles swap.

1) Project based learning: it is an approach that give students a sense of ownership. It is based in a common idea (problem-question) and it is a reflection of young students' voice and choice. It ends up with a public product that meets a real world need.

2) Negotiating the curriculum: eventhough a wide part of the school curriculum is compulsory, it isn't totally rigid and can be slightly modified. It is about giving the students the right to participate choosing the content and the assesment methods. This method increases the initiative of the students to negotiate and make decisions.

3) Set tasks that encourage students to collaborate with each other. They can all learn from each other. It is a way to make them feel listened. Brainstorming ideas and agreeing in some of them can bring a sense of belonging too.

1. Think-Pair-Share

Why: This approach gives every student time to think individually, share ideas with a partner, and then contribute to the whole class discussion. It reduces anxiety and increases engagement.

How/When: Use during discussions on complex topics or after introducing new content to encourage all students to process and share their thoughts.

2. Student Voice Surveys

Why: Gathering feedback from students about their learning experiences and preferences helps them feel valued and involved in decision-making.

How/When: Conduct short surveys at the end of a unit or term to inform future planning and classroom activities.

3. Interactive Digital Tools (e.g., Padlet, Mentimeter, Kahoot)

Why: These tools allow students to participate anonymously or publicly, making it easier for shy or reluctant learners to contribute.

How/When: Use during brainstorming sessions, formative assessments, or collaborative projects to make participation fun and inclusive.

Simple tasks where students share parts of who they are help everyone feel included and more willing to join in.

2. Project-based learning on “community and belonging”
Students work together on a small project like creating a class mural, storybook, or video showing what diversity and unity mean to them. This naturally boosts participation and teamwork.

3. Dialogue circles
Circle discussions give students a safe space to listen, speak, and reflect respectfully on their different perspectives.

I am a very strong advocate for student-driven project based learning across all year groups. Depending on age, the level at which you are able to responsibly release control varies. However, I think all students, no matter age, should be given opportunities for hands on learning experiences that are driven by common interests and passions of the students. I have worked across multiple schools who implement a student-driven, gradual release of responsibility model of teaching. Students learn the lesson concepts and then apply the learning in a gradually released way depending on how they feel comfortable expressing. It's about making students accountable for their own learning, ensuring that they are actively engaged and are able to confidently express their understanding of a particular concept.

There is an urgent need for more resources that enable young people both to gain knowledge and understanding of the diversity of religions and other worldviews and to learn how to discuss differences of beliefs and values with civility, tolerance and respect. In a divided world, this need for civil dialogue is crucial, a point made strongly in the Council of Europe’s ongoing work on education about religions and non-religious convictions. However, high quality resources which help both students and teachers to engage in this process are few and far between. Essentials of Dialogue is thus a very welcome publication, covering key issues in both teaching and practising dialogue. Drawing on the practical experience of the [Generation Global] programme, Essentials of Dialogue deals clearly and succinctly with skills of communication in relation to beliefs and values, while introducing important information, ranging from issues relating to the use of the Internet, to the use of videoconferencing. Essentials of Dialogue is highly recommended.” Robert Jackson, Emeritus Professor of Religions and Education at the University

Strategies, approaches or resources I'd like to use:

1. The Jigsaw Cooperative Learning Model

This approach ensures every student has a meaningful role by becoming an “expert” in one part of a task and teaching it to their group. It promotes equal participation and encourages students from different cultural backgrounds to collaborate.

2. Circle of Voices Discussion Strategy A structured sharing circle where each student has uninterrupted time to speak. This builds confidence, supports respectful listening, and ensures all voices, especially quieter or culturally diverse students, are included.

3. Visible Thinking Routine: See/Think/Wonder – A simple routine that scaffolds participation by guiding students to observe, interpret, and question. It provides a predictable structure that helps multilingual learners and encourages thoughtful contributions from all students.

One strategy I would like to use to increase student participation is Think-Pair-Share. This approach gives students time to think individually about a question, discuss their ideas with a partner, and then share with the class. It reduces pressure on students who may feel anxious speaking in front of the whole group and ensures everyone has a voice rather than only the most confident contributors. I would use this during discussions, topic introductions, and concept checking to build confidence, engagement, and deeper understanding through structured peer interaction. As well as this, whole class discussions, project based learning etc are all essential elements to a teacher facilitating group participation.

HANDS-ON LEARNING

THE BENEFITS are AMAZING:

Deeper Understanding – Students make real-world connections by “doing,” which helps them grasp abstract concepts more effectively than through listening alone.

Engagement & Motivation – Active, practical activities capture attention, spark curiosity, and make learning enjoyable, increasing participation.

Retention of Knowledge – Learners are more likely to remember what they’ve physically explored, built, or created because multiple senses are involved.

Critical Thinking & Problem-Solving – Hands-on tasks encourage students to experiment, make mistakes, and find solutions, building resilience and higher-order thinking skills.

Fosters collaboration & communication: Many hands-on activities are group-based, giving students opportunities to share ideas, negotiate roles, and practise teamwork.
