Collaborative learning

Collaborative learning is a teaching style that has evolved over the last thirty years and is still evolving. We support a teacher network that shares resources either to be used as they are, or tweaked a little to suit different classrooms or to be an inspiration/a template to develop new resources that we hope you will in turn share with us.

We have three aims:

First to develop resources that empower learners by encouraging them to work with every other learner in the class in a playful, but purposeful, way.

Second to make complex ideas accessible by presenting them in concrete, visual and tactile ways.

Third to encourage exploratory talk in the classroom.
