Whiteboard protocols

Mini-Whiteboards for Guided Practice

Using mini-whiteboards means every student can listen, talk, and try skills during whole-class teaching.

• Teachers can check understanding across the class.
• It increases writing mileage and ensures students are prepared for independent tasks.

  Tip: L-sleeves with a sheet of card inside make a cheap and effective alternative. You can also slip templates or texts inside.

We recommend establishing clear protocols so boards are quickly distributed and put away, and used to support (not distract from) learning.
