We believe that education allows people to develop a fulfilled and resilient life. Our work focuses on engaging school students with their learning so that they are ready for a lifetime of curiosity and continuous development. In our view, learners showing interest and engagement with the world around them is therefore the most important indicator of a successful learning environment.
To make this happen, we focus on creating innovative learning materials that not only inspire students but also align with educational standards globally. We are also deeply committed to empowering teachers with the skills, resources, and workplace support structures needed to foster engaging and effective learning environments. In essence, our objective is to create an ecosystem where continuous learning and engagement are at the heart of education for all.
Our Engaged Learning Model of education is based on the
hypothesis that learning is an active process, in which the learner is supported along a
path of self-driven discovery.
To help us design and evaluate better education practice, we conside the model as a three-stage
cycle of
curiosity, engagement, and
discovery.

Before a person can be engaged in active learning, it is vital that they already have an innate interest in applying themselves to the task
of learning.
Therefore, the first objective of the educator is to stimulate curiosity in the learner, by preparing
the
learning environment,
the
narrative context,
and the
reward story.
Learner engagement is achieved when a person applies their maximum available capacity
to the task of self-development.
The second objective of the educator is to focus and maintain the activity of the learner by
providing
learning materials,
direct tuition, and
collaboration tasks.
An effective education experience is one in which the learner has discovered something,
whether: explicit—such as when learning a new concept; or implicit—like when
consolidating prior understanding.
The third objective of the education is therefore to help the learner self-identify successful
discovery through
guided practice,
formative assessment,
and
meta-cognition coaching.
The Engaging Education Code represents our ongoing journey to define and refine our educational beliefs. It's a flexible, evolving framework, reflective of our commitment to open-mindedness and adaptability in the face of new evidence and perspectives.
This Code guides how we operate as a charity and approach education, envisioned to evolve democratically through our Engaging Educators Network, a collaborative platform for educators, learners, and leaders. While not binding, it represents the ethos we strive to develop and embody in our educational practices.
