Workshops and resources for constructively aligned, relevant lesson plans and improved student engagement.

Helping teachers to be really well prepared for teaching, to ensure they are confident, up to date, and planning learning activities that are: differentiated, accessible, inclusive, and relevant. Good planning supports positive engagement, constructive alignment, and strong student success.

Helping lecturers and assessors to become more confident, efficient, and fair in their marking. These workshops help them to be more balanced in their marking, with effective feedback to improve learning and a positive engagement with the whole assessment process.

This will also reduce the risk of holds-ups with moderation and ensure better External Examiner feedback.

Workshops that engage teachers in exploring the benefits of active learning, to in turn improve student engagement and achievement. This helps build teachers’ confidence in the classroom and is proven to improve learner outcomes and achievement.

Improving staff and student understanding of the whole assessment journey for improved achievement.

Improving student assessment literacy is shown to improve both submission and achievement rates, as students become more confident in the assessment process and learn the ‘rules of the game’. It improves students’ engagement with feedback, making feedback more impactful.

Formative assessment is the tool to bring us closer to assessment for learning, not just assessment of learning.

A strong culture of formative assessment, especially with peer feedback, improves a sense of community, and understanding of the relevance of learning. It improves student engagement, submission rates, and achievement rates.

For successful research and major project supervision, and scaffolded differentiation. Using coaching methodologies, we help your teachers develop the confidence to move away from content-driven didactic teaching, and instead inspire their learners through facilitating student-led learning.

This approach empowers learners to own their own learning, supports differentiation in mixed-ability groups and reduced the teacher’s in-class workload. Students tend to be more consistently engaged with more impactful. lasting learning.

We can help you improve teacher buy-in to observation processes and positive sharing of good practice. Through developing your strategy and through training the observer teams, and establishing peer observation processes.

As teachers are more confident and trusting in observation processes, they tend to be more willing to engage and then benefit from the feedback and actions.

Training and calibration sessions for all who mark and moderate summative assessment. Established as good practice in HE, marker calibration or benchmark moderation improves timeliness and parity in marking and feedback.

It is part of the moderation process and also serves as a great mode of learning and development for markers.

Project-based Learning (PBL) has a proven track record in all stages of education (primary, secondary & HE) particularly in fields such as medicine and creative arts.

It’s a powerful pedagogical approach for community building, socialised and student-led learning, and improved student engagement. Where properly implemented it has proven to significantly improve student engagement achievement.
