FC-Sprint² – More effective education through active students

How do you get the best out of your students? FC-Sprint² is the inspiring and practical account of a quest for more effective education. Author Jan Deutekom shows how to create a stimulating learning environment in which students take more responsibility, show initiative, and actually learn better. In this book, Deutekom explores fundamental questions about education:

• When do students take the initiative themselves?
• How much guidance does a teacher need?
• Are you a teacher standing in front of a class, or are you coaching a learning team?

During his teaching practice, Deutekom encountered persistent barriers that hindered rather than enhanced the learning process. This led to the development of the FC-Sprint² approach: a groundbreaking educational approach that has been shown to achieve surprising learning results.

The FC-Sprint² approach

The method is clearly explained on the basis of eleven principles, including:

• Learning becomes more effective when students feel the need to learn something
• The learner does the initial thinking themselves

The focus is on creating a ‘need’: the teacher deliberately gives space and responsibility so that students can work independently or in teams with explanatory source material. The student actively draws on their own skills, while the teacher shifts from being the main source of knowledge to the final source of knowledge.

Who is it for?

This book is intended for:

• teachers and education professionals
• managers in education
• professionals in NT2 education and beyond

Anyone who believes that learning can be more effective, more active, and more meaningful will find concrete tools and inspiration in FC-Sprint².
