Active Learning: No Passengers Allowed

A bespoke, in-school course tailored to your exact needs

Would you like to create a dynamic, active learning environment where all students are both engaged and extended?

Do you want to develop resilient learners who thrive both independently and collaboratively?

Have you ever had an inspection team suggest that the teachers—rather than students—are doing most of the work in lessons?

The most effective lessons have that X factor: students are not passive passengers, but active, motivated learners. This course shows you exactly how to make that a reality in your classrooms.
