Research conducted by the Educational Endowment Foundation (EEF) indicated that there are five particular approaches which can be integrated into day-to-day teaching practice to raise attainment among children with additional needs, as well as their classmates.
This course helps school leaders to answer two questions: How effective is your curriculum? How do you know?

Are We Misunderstanding Memory?
Are We Misunderstanding Memory?
26th May 2025
While memory is often defined as the retrieval of information from long-term storage, this narrow view risks reducing learning to passive recall. Drawing on cognitive science, this blog reframes memory as a dynamic construct involving remembering, knowing, and reasoning — all essential for usable knowledge. It argues that strategies like retrieval practice are effective for recall but insufficient for deeper understanding. To bridge this gap, the blog makes the case for explicitly teaching metacognition and oracy. These approaches equip pupils with the cognitive and communicative tools to connect, organise, and apply their knowledge, transforming memory from static storage into a flexible, functional system for thinking and learning.
Learning Traps: Teaching by Letting Students Fall In
Learning Traps: Teaching by Letting Students Fall In
7th Apr 2025
We often tell pupils that mistakes are part of learning — but what if we designed lessons to depend on them?“ Learning traps,” deliberate set-ups that help students learn through their mistakes, are not about tricking them but about crafting situations where getting it wrong becomes the most powerful route to getting it right. They expose faulty reasoning, common misconceptions, or surface-level thinking to deepen understanding. It’s a strategy as old as Socratic dialogue and as sharp as a well-set maths problem. And the evidence supports it. In this blog, you’ll discover five practical types of learning traps — from the ‘almost-right answer’ to the ‘fake success’ trap — each illustrated with classroom examples across subjects. You’ll also find guidance on how to use traps responsibly, along with references to key research on productive failure, retrieval, and metacognitive development.
Enquiry-Based Learning: Striking a Balance Between Curiosity and Prior Knowledge
Enquiry-Based Learning: Striking a Balance Between Curiosity and Prior Knowledge
10th Jan 2025
Enquiry-based learning is a pedagogical approach that lies at the heart of many curricula, such as the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). It encourages students to ask questions, explore ideas, and construct their understanding of the world. However, this approach also raises important questions about its effectiveness for all learners, mainly when prior knowledge is limited.This blog explores the relationship between enquiry-based learning and prior knowledge, highlighting research supporting the need to balance discovery and foundational understanding.
