A year of professional learning that gives every member of staff a complete toolkit of practical strategies, so learners get consistent, appropriate support at the point of challenge.
Imagine a school where all learners are independent, interdependent and cooperative.
Imagine the students driving their own learning, becoming their own teachers, setting their own goals and iterations, being assessment capable and reflexive in their approaches.
Beyond metacognition and self-regulation this classroom practical programme nurtures the independent learner in everyone.
A year of professional learning that gives every member of staff a complete toolkit of practical strategies, clarity on the progressions towards independent learning and the supporting key strategies.
It will improve studentship, lift achievement, cultivate openness to learning and enhance enjoyment of the process of learning.
Developed over a number of years with schools and international partners, so it is specific and it has impact
An evidence-informed scale shows the precise “nudges” each individual needs. A process built from strengths avoids distraction onto individual pupils.
Highly practical input sessions are drawn from the best evidence, so staff practise the best-probability strategies straight away.
Solution-focused inquiry cycles and strict protocols keep the process efficient and the evaluation informed.
Independent Learning is a one year on-site programme that engages the whole school (Leaders, Teachers, Learners and Support).
The programme runs over 2–4 school terms, within a year of professional learning. Schools typically see impact in 6 to 18 months.
Independent Learning is for schools looking to take learning to the edge. For the innovators, the challengers of orthodoxy, the ones frustrated with sticking plaster support.
Approximately 20% of learners are already independent. Traditionally this would be the group who went to University. Creating independence brings pain points to the fore. But with our expert guidance smooth pathways can replace frustration and all learners can become more independent.
