Making Learning Better is complex - we learn from sport (and Stephen has also been working with elite coaches in some Olympic teams) that it is the details, the aggregation of marginal gains, that add up to real progress. This page links to some of those many details to make learning better in schools, universities, companies, apprenticeships, sports, families and more. Lots of research, lots of learning, lots of things to try:
enviromental factors - learnometer project
BYOP - bring your own plant (cutting CO2)
light levels fit for learning
write-on surfaces
all-through schools
furniture
better toilets
paint - huge improvements in a weekend!
shoeless learning
no teacher desks
schools-within-schools
managing sound
learner led improvements
superclasses
phones: how young?
tiered seating
little details
flat screens
rule of 3
school improvement summary
as with all these pages on the heppell.net website, it is very much work in progress; we will add to, or refine, as time goes by.
