Individual Learning Profiles

Fascinating, insightful and ground breaking - a course rich in practical ideas and resources to raise achievement in the classroom

Give your class, year group or whole school the learning buzz and help every child achieve with ILP training. Combining practical activities, familiarisation of the software, assessments and the reports. We take a look at the background theory and the role of the brain in learning, and how simple tweaks in teaching style can create outstanding lessons and raise attainment.

With ILP training you will:
Expand your knowledge and understanding of the different ways the brain processes learning and the impact stress has in the ability to retain information.
Raise pupil achievement by assessing their learning needs and identify their natural skills, weak areas and how implementing recommended strategies can help them excel.
Deliver outstanding teaching by tweaking the learning environment and teaching style to match the needs of the class as a whole, groups of pupils or individuals.
Promote positive learning attitudes and effective peer learning through grouping students and differentiating learning by matching skills and learning style instead of by ability.
Improve student's independent study skills by providing them, and their parents, with effective strategies to manage stress and improve home study and exam revision techniques

 

Improved results by matching teaching and learning styles
"We feel sure that the improved results in our QCA year 3 and 4 tests, and in SATs, can be attributed to matching the teaching styles with the learning styles we discovered when we did the ILP programme"
Head teacher, Watling Lower School, Luton

ActEi - developing the whole child

Practical and intellectually stimulating - the ActEi training sessions are a must for teachers, support staff and SENCOs

The one day inset training is a balanced mixture of practical activity sessions and classroom learning. During the active sessions everyone takes part in a range of games that are guaranteed to get you puffing and laughing. There are activities that show you how to evoke the imagination and express ideas creatively, and specialised techniques that challenge and progress physical abilities.

With ActEi training you will:
Expand your knowledge and understanding of children's physical and cognitive development and how to help them reach their potential.
Deliver inclusive PE sessions where all children can take part and everyone has an equal opportunity to develop their skills.
Master a new set of skills to easily identify children who have early signs of need for additional support in PE and in the classroom.
Deliver outstanding ActEi sessions where children will rapidly improve their physical, sensory processing and personal development skills.
Create differentiated sessions for children with SEN, support IEPS and target additional support for children recognised as having difficulties in PE.

 

I wish I knew all this before! Why didn't anyone tell me?
"These books are so clear and well presented and everything you've discussed makes so much sense, I wish I knew all this before! Why didn't anyone tell me? There are two things in my long career that I feel made total sense and could really make a difference, and this is one of them"
