Day 3: Online: Strategies for teaching using the IFF
Day 4: Offline Activity: Plan a series of 3 lessons using knowledge from Day 1 & 3.

Participants will be able to:
* Use a process to map IFF outcomes to the required syllabus’
* Develop teaching strategies that integrate IFF, syllabus outcomes and lifelong learning
* Develop a 3 lesson sequence for use in school using the IFF

What previous attendees had to say:
“I haven’t used IFF effectively in my program to date as I wasn’t sure where to begin. This session enabled me to have an effective starting point.”
“Having feedback on creating lessons to support IFF gave me focus on what I wasn’t quite getting right. Thank you for the reminder of the different methodologies.”
“The course has been very thought-provoking. I think I have become quite complacent in my lessons. This course has certainly got me thinking about the skills and content I want to instil.”
