Learning Score is an alternative take on lesson planning. A multimedia lesson-planning and delivery tool that uses a music score metaphor to show the range of planned activities for a lesson as a graphical time line. Use it for planning, for reflection, or as a upgrade to powerpoint since you can embed any resources you want to use into the visual plan itself. Whole lessons can be saved with all their resources and annotations for later use and sharing.

A one-year, part time Action Research programme. Through practical examples, theory and creative processes, participants will have the opportunity to explore ideas in a dynamic learning environment. The part time structure enables participants to experiment with, reflect on, and document their learning in between sessions, and to integrate the work into their professional and personal practice. There is support and feedback from the certificate tutors and peers during the intervals.

The final report was published on 30 April 2009. It also includes the proposed programmes of learning that would make up a new curriculum and the Essentials for Learning and Life that will be developed throughout the curriculum.

"This site will aim to show how schools can become more sustainable places if they take a critical approach to geography. It will consider this question: If geography teachers and students view schools as exciting places that are worthy of study - can they have a significant role in mapping and enabling sustainable change? It is based on an approach to learning sometimes called 'place-based learning' but here described as sustainable geography."
