Our
approach
Empower your school with child-led learning and peer-to-peer coaching
At the heart of every successful school is an engaged, motivated community of learners – both students and teachers.
Our Personalised Pathways, Positive Pathways and CalmHead programmes draw from our central ethos – personalised learning.
Read on to discover more about our approach and why it works so well for the schools in the Global Spirit Ed network.
What do we mean by personalised learning?
Increasing a person’s agency – aka their capacity to have the power and resources to fulfil their potential – can have massive benefits for their wellbeing, learning, and future success.
Person-centred, or child-led learning helps to increase agency by giving individuals the support and tools they need to feel confident in their choices and take ownership of their learning journey.
Child-led learning – unlocking every student’s potential
By implementing a child-led, personalised education model, your students become active participants in their own learning journey. Research shows that child-centred approaches boost student engagement, grow resilient lifelong learners, and lead to higher academic achievement. Tailoring learning to each student's interests and needs creates a culture where children feel empowered, motivated, and capable of achieving their full potential.
Through tailored learning strategies. Countries like Finland, which adopt a child-centered approach, consistently rank highly in global education systems.
Improved academic outcomes
By giving children a say in what they study, they become active contributors to their education and therefore, more engaged.

Peer-to-peer teacher coaching – building stronger, happier teams
Positive peer-to-peer coaching transforms teacher professional development by encouraging collaboration and shared expertise. Teachers learn from one another in a supportive, non-hierarchical environment, developing a school culture of mutual respect and continuous improvement. Educators and leaders are encouraged to take initiative, innovate, and shape the educational landscape to inspire growth and change. This approach has been shown to reduce teacher burnout, improve teaching quality, and ultimately lead to better student outcomes.
Through collaborative feedback and shared expertise.
Enhanced teaching practices
Through increased autonomy and choice, aiding overall wellbeing.
