118. Collaborative Learning That Actually Works


Listen Later

Does the thought of running smooth rotations or grouping students send your brain into a spin? You’re not alone (and this episode is here to help!).

Join us as we unpack the magic (and the real talk) behind collaborative learning routines that actually work. From tackling post-break classroom chaos to grouping students without the overwhelm, this practical and empowering episode is all about helping you reclaim your time, energy, and confidence.

What you will learn:

  • Why collaborative learning is the heartbeat of a thriving classroom
  • A simple 5-step January reset to get routines back on track
  • How to group students using data without the stress
  • What to put in centres so they run themselves
  • The #1 mindset shift to keep rotations sustainable 

Whether you’re new to centres or looking to fine-tune your existing systems, this episode will leave you feeling supported, inspired, and ready to make collaborative learning work for you.

If your staffroom whisper this term is “my kids can’t work independently”… this episode is your answer. Let’s work smarter, not harder together. 

Rainbows ahead,

Alisha and Ashleigh
