Task Design for Teachers: Designing Effective Tasks

Episode 115: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I'm joined by Shannen Doherty, Jonny Hall and Elliot Morgan for an in-depth exploration of task design, including key principles to keep in mind when designing tasks, how to tell they are going as planned, and what to do if they don't. As part of the chat we discuss... What are the features of a well designed task? What about a poorly designed task? How can you tell if something has just been thrown together with little thought? What are you thinking about when you sit down to design a task? How do you know if a task has worked as you’d hoped? And what do you do if not? ...plus much, much more. Whether you're new to the profession or an experienced senior leader, you won't want to miss this one!
