The Sharing Pedagogical Purposes research group developed exciting ideas for teachers interested in promoting deeper learning in their classrooms.
A TASTE OF PEEL
PEEL started over 30 years ago and during that time hundreds of teachers in several different countries, often assisted by university researchers, have written about what they have found to be good practice. These articles describing their successful strategies can be found in three major PEEL resources: Principles of Teaching for Effective Learning: the voice of the teacher, Teaching for Effective Learning: the complete book of PEEL teaching procedures and PEEL in Practice, the PEEL database which contains hundreds of articles written by practising teachers.
PEEL RESOURCES
PEEL has developed a number of rich resources for teachers firmly based on what works in the classroom. Three of the more important of these are listed here, others can be found on our Publications page.
