Our proven interdisciplinary teaching approach improves children's educational performance, and transforms hard to reach children into committed learners.
“Literacy went through the roof”The biggest challenge facing primary schools attempting to raise learning outcomes, is to better connect learning with pupils.That is what The Leonardo Effect enables schools to do. It allows children to creatively develop ideas and to become more confident as collaborators and contributors, and allows teachers to re-connect learning to disaffected children. Literacy and Transferable skills flourish, with one teacher commenting “they wanted to answer their own questions, so they wanted to read”. As Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education (Scotland) reported: “The school has made considerable progress in relation to the Leonardo Project. Pupils across the stages are now more active and creative in their learning and are taking initiative and developing a lead role in terms of their own learning.” “Across the school, staff are generally confident in teaching and learning skills and are moving away from fixed lesson plans to explore learning contexts that are still appropriate but were more motivating for the learners.” |
