Edge supports schools and colleges to broaden and transform education, making it relevant to the twenty-first century. Building on our strong evidence base, policy development, and portfolio of innovative projects, Edge helps schools and colleges to try these exciting new approaches.
Signature Practices
We specialise in three signature practices of deeper learning that help bring education to life: Project Based Learning, Real World Learning, and Community Connected Learning. All is supported by our Evidence Base.
Project Based Learning
Project Based Learning is a teaching method in which students work on a project over time - from a week to up to a term - that engages them in solving a real-world problem or answering a complex question. Students demonstrate their knowledge and skills by developing a public product or presentation for a real audience.
Real World Learning
Real World Learning involves intentionally designing the curriculum so it is relevant and contextualised, making learning meaningful and inspiring. Core to Real World Learning is connecting subject knowledge to real world learning experiences and problem solving. Students may complete internships and work placements, while teachers and lecturers take part in an externship.
Community Connected Learning
Community Connected Learning is a form of experiential learning where students collaborate with external partners to address real-world challenges as part of their broader education.
