Learning across the curriculum

Learning across the curriculum allows practitioners to make links and draw on a range of themes and topics for delivering the curriculum.

Assessment

Assessment involves gathering, reflecting on and evaluating evidence of learning to enable staff to check on learners' progress and support further learning.

Approaches to learning

Active learning

Co-operative and collaborative learning
Learning is frequently most effective when learners have the opportunity to think and talk together, to discuss ideas, analyse and solve problems, without constant teacher mediation.
