Training Courses and Educational Resources for Schools and Teachers

Inclusion is rightly a major priority for schools. But effective inclusion involves more than policies, interventions and additional support. It depends on what happens in classrooms every day.Drawing on research from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), this highly practical course explores five evidence-informed approaches that can support pupils with additional needs while benefiting their classmates too.Chris demonstrates how explicit instruction, cognitive and metacognitive strategies, scaffolding, flexible grouping and the appropriate use of technology can be incorporated into everyday teaching. With examples from across the primary curriculum, the course helps teachers consider how to make learning more accessible without creating entirely separate approaches for different groups of pupils.The aim is to make inclusive teaching part of everyday classroom practice, not something additional that teachers are expected to do.

This course helps school leaders to answer two questions: How effective is your curriculum? How do you know? 

Teaching something doesn't necessarily mean that pupils will remember it. Even when lessons appear successful, important knowledge can quickly be forgotten if teachers don't plan carefully for how learning is understood, organised, practised and retrieved.This highly practical, evidence-informed course explores how memory works and what teachers can do to help pupils remember more of the curriculum over time.Chris introduces eight approaches, including dual coding, graphic organisers, page layout, sketch notes, retrieval practice, metacognition and writing to learn. Through examples and practical applications, the course explores how these approaches can help pupils connect new learning to what they already know, organise information and develop more secure understanding.Rather than treating these strategies as isolated activities, the course encourages teachers to consider when and why to use them as part of effective classroom teaching.The aim is not simply to help pupils recall more information, but to build knowledge they can understand, connect and use.
