Developing Independent and Enquiring Learners

For many years we have collaborated with schools in developing whole school approaches towards independent learning. Our L2 programme has been used by over 1,000 schools and colleges in the UK. The collaboration with the schools in the L2 network led to the publication of the highly successful Learning to Learn in Schools:The L2 Approach.

We provide resources for classrooms and training in the approaches. Our expertise includes

Developing contextualized approaches to independent and enquiry based learning
Co-construction of resources
Identifying and Developing Learning Behaviours in your student body
Benchmarking against other approaches
Use of our own software and resources
Student impact surveys

Our work with Cramlington Learning Village started in 1995 and has gained global attention. CLV manages to combine innovative pedagogy with leading edge use of ICT and Social media. Our learning model, used since 1995 by CLV, has been recognized by the TEEP programme as the basis of their classroom approach. we have trailed, developed and evaluated classroom learning programmes based on our 5 R's of great learning:

      1. Resilience
      2. Responsibility
      3. Resourcefulness
      4. Reasoning
      5. Reflection
