Guiding students to be active learners in class and beyond

Resources to strengthen active learning

Our toolkit provides a variety of educational resources and tools to support teachers’ continuing professional development, including:

✅ A webinar with insights on how to promote active learning
✅ Research-based papers and articles about active learning
✅ Learning techniques to encourage students to actively learn

By incorporating active learning strategies into your teaching, you’ll help students focus on understanding rather than recalling facts. They will be inspired to actively engage with lesson content, analyse information, and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways. This deeper level of learning improves their understanding, and reinforces both curiosity and confidence.

Webinar and CPD paper

Research shows that active learning and inquiry are children’s natural inclinations. They are born with a natural enthusiasm for discovery. Despite this, teachers often face challenges in fully engaging every student in their classrooms. So, how can you inspire these natural sparks of curiosity and ensure all students engage? You should consider implementing active teaching and learning strategies. They help create an inspiring environment where every student thinks deeply and participates.

That’s why we created this webinar and CPD paper as part of our continuing professional development resources. They provide insights and strategies to help you integrate active learning into your lessons & encourage more engaging classes.
