Active learning, assessment for learning, metacognition and inclusion are four key approaches which are the foundation of a Cambridge classroom. They underpin teaching and learning across the curriculum and support students to be effective learners who achieve their full potential. This course explores what these four approaches look like in practice and supports you in building a practical toolkit of strategies to use back in school.
