Learning together resources

These learning together resources use carefully selected videos and information from The Journey to Excellence website.

Whilst you watch examples of practitioners and learners, and listen to the perspective of researchers, you will be encouraged to carry out activities and put your learning into your practice.

Further information about the resources

The learning together resources:

are equally relevant to all professional groups including classroom assistants and allied professionals
encourage you to identify your current level of knowledge and expertise and build on this
are flexible, can be adapted to your individual or school’s needs and to enable you to work individually or collectively
provide active tasks and aim to improve the quality of outcomes for learners

have tangible outcomes.

How long do activities take?

They can be used flexibly. You may want to spend two hours on an activity, an inservice day, or a series of twilight sessions. Most have additional activities for you to carry out with your class or colleagues.

Further professional development

These exemplar learning together resources have been created using elements throughout the resource. However, the Journey to Excellence is a vast and growing fund of information. You, your establishment or your authority may wish to develop and share the learning together resources to meet your individual or collective needs.

Would it work for me?

What works in one context may have to be adapted to your own school or classroom. Innovate, create, use, adapt and apply ideas… But keep returning to the aims. Keep checking… is this making a difference to learners?
