Keynote – Mark. Plan. Teach. in Food
Ross Morrison McGill – Teacher Toolkit
 
With teacher workload and mental health issues at record levels, ideas that work in the classroom to alleviate workload and support teacher wellbeing are essential. Ross offers food teachers a range of strategies and insights into ‘what teachers can do in the classroom’ and ‘why and how’ they work. Ross’s presentation is full of practical ideas which deliberately mirror the teaching process.
Mark. Plan. Teach.
- shows how each stage of the teaching process informs the next, building a cyclical framework that underpins everything that food teachers do.
- enables all food teachers to maximise the impact of their teaching and, in doing so, save time, reduce workload and take back control of the classroom.
