Teachers need empowering too

We’re all responsible for motivating students.
But who motivates the teachers?
 

Of course, everyone who works in the classroom is a professional – and as such is expected to be motivated and engaged with their students all day, every working day. 

But the reality of life is that for even the most dynamic person, drive and enthusiasm can come and go with the ups and downs of the job. An occasional boost of one’s determination to succeed never goes amiss. 

This is particularly true when the activity includes not just a boost of the morale of teachers, but also the equipping of them with the tools to reduce stress and increase positivity. 

And this is exactly what the Fixup Get Up and Go Seminar does. We share tried and tested tools and inspirational resources that will be effective for boosting the well-being of your colleagues as they work each day helping their students. 

The result is an inspiring session for staff, designed to uplift morale and share some amazing tools for continuous development, with the aim of helping every student to set and achieve his/her aspirational goals. 

For the teachers it rebuilds what can, on occasion, be a slight drop in the level of enthusiasm and drive for the subject being taught, as well as being an effective means of developing time for thinking and reflection. 

Overall we combine passion, energy, humour and inspiration to give you the necessary tools for continuous development, personally and professionally.

How flowing lyrically helps knowing history

How can rapping be of any importance
to learning the history of Tudors and Normans?

Developing confidence and capability in History is greatly aided by being able to quickly identify and recall a wide variety of historical facts, events and themes. Cognitive scientists recognise that one of the most effective ways of remembering such material is through the use of mnemonic devices. However, it is commonly believed that such learning aids are difficult to generate.

Revision Raps turns this wisdom on its head. Employing methodologies which have evolved over a decade of work in schools in the UK and the United States, we utilize the accessibility and appeal of rap music to create efficient and entertaining reminders of core content. Students enjoy themselves whilst focussing on the meaning of key terms and concepts, making the process a great way of learning and remembering course material. For example, here is a video about US History we made with students in New York City: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3VrR_7FUYw

We can help you integrate the learning possibilities into your classroom by:

Original tailored tracks
We will create an original rap music track and video around the material you want your students to learn, tailored to the content and emphasis of your particular topic, curriculum, scheme of work or examination framework. From £200 per track.

“I can’t praise
this project
enough, both
artistially
and as an
cational
tool”

In-class Programmes
We can help your students to create their own music and videos, providing an interactive, multimedia learning experience so memorable that students won’t forget what they rap about. Through writing, recording and listening to their own raps, students are immersed in the repetition of key methods and concepts in an enjoyable and rewarding way. Participants are left with a creative product which serves as a continuing learning aid. We can tailor programmes to any age or ability group. One-off workshops are priced from £350.
