How We Teach

‘And here’s how you should think about memory: it’s the residue of thought, meaning that the more you think about something, the more likely it is that you’ll remember it later’ (Willingham, 2008)

At Ravenstone, our approach to teaching is guided by evidence-based methods that help children grow into confident, curious, and capable learners. We know that no single way of teaching works best for every subject or concept, so our teachers use a range of techniques - always with the goal of helping children understand deeply and think independently. For more on the rationale behind our teaching principles, read the overview on the link below:
