Using insight from neuroscience to improve education Like many, I was wowed when around 12 years ago, I first became aware of the application of theories of neuroscience within education. This was great: it made sense, it felt good! Then came ‘learning styles’.  As a trainer, I was soon delivering sessions for both students and staff containing sections entitled ‘what type

The study of memory; Memory and learning are inseparable. The importance of memory in learning should not be underestimated by all those involved in education. Since the advent of formal education, educators have tried to understand what memory is, how it works and how it can be enhanced through teaching and learning in the classroom. Since the restructuring of GCSE qualifications

On Thursday 15th December I had the pleasure of attending my first Teachmeet - #TMOXFORD at The Cheney School in Oxford, hosted by Amjad Ali. I was impressed by both the format and the speakers. The format is one of short presentations, ranging from 3-12 minutes in length. Each speaker had a clear topic/objective covering aspects such as behaviour, assessment

Many students never really consider or reflect on their method for taking notes in class. They think that they have to copy down everything they read or hear. When preparing for an exam or assignment, they copy their notes out again, producing page after page of A4 facsimiles. This method of note taking is generally time consuming and ineffective. But surely

The exam-heavy months of May and June offer our training team a break from intensive live delivery and allow us to focus on research and development. In the past we would look at what was working, what needed refinement and what needed changing. This year, we have taken a slightly different approach. It all stemmed from a conversation I had

I spend a sizeable proportion of my time researching strategies for independent studying. Every now and then I find something that resonates with me on a personal level and I feel I have to test it immediately. Last week I came across a time management tool called the Pomodoro technique and I was struck by its immediacy and simplicity. I

A mindset, according to Carol Dweck, is a perception that people hold about themselves. People can be aware or unaware, honest or misguided about their mindsets, but they can have a profound effect on learning achievement, knowledge mastery, skill acquisition, personal relationships, professional success, and many other dimensions of life. Dweck’s educational work and research focuses on the distinction between

Much like in schools, our people are our greatest asset. We say it often and with good reason. It is through the determination and dedication of our people that we can serve our clients and deliver value within the education sector. People management is about two things: Finding the right people for the right positions and getting the best from your

Shiver my timbers; MADE on a boat! We now have an office on a former WW1 warship moored on the river Thames in Central London. When MADE was first looking for new office space, this was not what we had in mind. But, our team quickly fell for her quirky and unique charms and we can safely say it was

Our training team works hard to monitor current trends in education and changes within curriculum design. We study current themes offered by the main examining bodies and choose examples within the most common topics. For example, all examining bodies offering a science GCSE have a topic exploring DNA. In our CSI:MADE programme we instruct students on how to use mnemonic devices, illustrating the technique by getting
