The Change
With attainment expectations higher than ever, many teachers see little alternative but to use the curriculum as a tick-list for learning. We aim to redress the balance between coverage and authentic, pupil-led experiences, reducing the risk of further dissociation between school and the outside world.
Taking inspiration from the Finnish education system, we work with primary schools and teacher training institutions around the UK, supporting school staff as they transition from deliverers of knowledge, to facilitators of learning experiences.
“The more we work for the curriculum, the less it works for them.”
- Simon Brooks, Founder
The Sessions
We work to develop staff confidence; empowering individuals to experiment with, and incorporate a more project-based approach into their own teaching practice. Staff are taken on a journey; from the initial stages of development, to delivery and assessment as they deepen their understanding of, and appreciation towards this authentic style of teaching and learning.
“The sessions offer real insight into purposeful learning, helping our students to make an impact during their time in schools.”.
- C. Convey, NT University
