Every term we welcome special guests to shed light on how Clicker can help educators and pupils across a variety of topics. This term’s special guests are exploring:
Clicker: Empowering EAL learners in the primary classroom
Wednesday 7th February 2024
3:45 to 4:15pm GMT
How can technology support children learning English as an additional language, and help them to access the primary curriculum?
We’ll be joined by our Curriculum Specialist Jo Gibbins to explore how the multi-sensory support that Clicker offers, along with its ready-made resources, empowers EAL learners to access lesson content alongside their peers and rapidly develop their English language skills.
The webinar will explore:
- How Clicker supports English Language Learners – through speech feedback for modelling, picture support for visual reinforcement, and activities to develop early language skills
- Our bank of free subject-specific resources that make the primary curriculum more accessible for EAL learners
- Focused activities for new arrivals and for developing English language
- Additional resources to support the mental wellbeing and emotional expression of EAL children, acknowledging that many come from countries where there is conflict and have experienced trauma
Time-smart strategies for adapting the primary curriculum with Clicker
Thursday 7th March 2024
3:45 to 4:15pm GMT
Before joining Crick’s Customer Experience team earlier this year, Katy Preston was a primary school teacher leading History, Science and Geography. In this webinar, Katy will be showcasing how she used Clicker’s ready-made resources in her classroom to make the primary curriculum more accessible and engaging for her learners.
Jam packed with time-saving tools and tips; this free 30-minute webinar will cover:
- Introducing a topic or lesson using ready-made Clicker Books and how these can be quickly edited to suit your learners’ needs
- Using Talk Sets to develop speaking and listening skills alongside building up new vocabulary
- A selection of ready-to-go writing grids available through LearningGrids, with varying levels of support
Katy’s session will focus on Science topics as an example, but you can apply the ideas shared here across the primary curriculum, with thousands of subject-specific Clicker resources available for you to choose from!
