Promoting Engagement Until the End.. (of the school year)

14 October 2024Written by Tess Abraham
Towards the end of the school year it can become increasingly difficult to engage your students in a regular classroom lesson. Term 4 is also the most likely time for students to ponder their future and consider their next steps after school.

Adopting techniques that build a sense of student autonomy in the classroom, specifically providing students with the opportunity to work through problems on their own, significantly increases engagement. In Term 4 of 2024, AIT is offering hands-on workshops for years 7-12 that provide students with a sense of autonomy and allow for the development of problem solving skills, whilst engaging students in the creative arts. These workshops focus on the practical components of our courses to enhance engagement in the classroom. Our workshops are run by our fantastic High School Engagement team who are all qualified and experienced teachers who specialise in engaging students and who are passionate about connecting students to relevant and exciting tertiary education.

AIT has a range of services and short programs tailored to high school students to support schools. Check out some further information about our High School workshops below!
