The resource covers the basics of active learning, provides a definition and introduces the theory behind active learning, highlighting constructivism, social constructivism and the Zone of Proximal Development.

It includes an active learning checklist with reflection questions to help you consider key aspects prior to getting started, which will help you with your planning. It provides practical examples of how teachers have used active learning with their students. It provides guidance on the next steps, covering observation, planning and research, with links to further resources.
