About the Workshop:
In this practical, hands-on workshop, participants will establish a shared understanding of 'cognitive challenge'. We define this as the way in which learners become able to understand and form complex, abstract ideas and solve problems.
Attendees will leave with techniques to adapt more 'standard' tasks into deep-thinking opportunities, including using AI to generate inclusive, high-ceiling activities that stretch and challenge all students—including those with EAL needs.
