I have attended several courses that you have run and they always leave me thinking more about my role as a teacher. You have helped me to build a set of principles and strategies that I can use to put these into practice. You have transformed my teaching. (Primary teacher, Aberdeen)
The influence of our work in science and mathematics is widely recognised. We also have expertise in English, humanities and cross-curricular issues. We are best known for helping schools to develop the use of innovative and engaging approaches to teaching, learning and assessment. Unless indicated, the course will be led by Stuart Naylor, Brenda Keogh, Jane Turner, Jo Horlock or Jo Moules. They have worked in and with schools for many years, and are actively involved in current initiatives and curriculum innovation, meaning that our courses will always be professionally relevant, engaging and inspirational. The following courses are available to any organisation or group, in the UK or beyond, concerned with the professional development of adults working with pupils age 5-12.
Everybody is talking about talk, but do you view pupils’ talk as a problem or as a starting point for learning? Do you want to find strategies to get pupils talking in maths lessons that make your life easier, lessons more enjoyable, and learning more engaging and secure?
Do you want to find out how to transform mathematics in your school? Using puppets in mathematics lessons engages pupils. They think more, talk more, learn more and enjoy their learning more.
We all know how to do fair tests, and so do our pupils. But how much do you know about the other types of science enquiry? How can you help pupils to develop both their science ideas and their science enquiry skills in ways that are relevant in today’s classrooms?
You want to make science lessons in your primary school engaging, entertaining and fun, and ensure that pupils are learning. But how do you do it?

Do you want assessment to influence the way your pupils think and learn? Are you looking for a quick, simple and effective approach to assessment that will make a significant difference to teaching and learning in your classroom?
