Learning & Praxis Decks

From Shared Principles to Classroom Practice

Great schools build coherence. Students thrive when teachers share a common understanding of what learning is, and how it comes to life in the classroom. The Learning Deck and Praxis Deck are designed to work hand-in-hand: one creating shared language across the school, the other translating that language into daily pedagogy.

The Learning Deck: A Common Language of Learning

The Learning Deck distils educational theory into a simple, visual framework of six principles and nine impact profiles. It gives teachers and leaders a shared way to talk about learning  – bridging the gap between vision, mission, and daily practice.

By making learning visible, the Learning Deck:

  • Provides a framework for designing lessons and units

  • Offers a lens for observing practice and giving feedback

  • Ensures that teachers across the school use consistent approaches

  • Supports professional development, reflection, and whole-school alignment

It is not another initiative. It is the connective tissue – a common approach that holds diverse practices together with clarity.

The Praxis Deck: Pedagogy in Action

If the Learning Deck answers what learning looks like, the Praxis Deck answers how teaching makes it happen.

The Praxis Deck is a practical toolkit for pedagogy. Each card is concise, visual, and actionable: why it matters, how to use it, and what to watch out for. Organised into categories like routines, questioning, feedback, and belonging, the Praxis Deck brings teaching craft into focus.

With the Praxis Deck, teachers can:

  • Access ready-to-use strategies to strengthen lessons

  • Reflect on their own practice with clear prompts

  • Engage in coaching and peer dialogue using concrete examples

  • Bridge theory and action – from principle to practice

It is designed for immediacy: a card you can pick up today and try tomorrow, while also supporting deeper professional reflection and growth.

Working Together: From Principle to Practice

The Learning and Praxis Decks share the same foundation. Both are built on the Nine Map of learning principles and profiles, and both are designed to create clarity and coherence across the school.

  • The Learning Deck gives schools a common approach to learning — a visual framework that defines principles and profiles, ensuring consistency.

  • The Praxis Deck deepens this by offering concrete strategies for impactful teaching, helping teachers turn shared principles into classroom reality.

Together, they create a system: a way to align vision with practice, coherence with craft. The Learning Deck sets the stage. The Praxis Deck brings it to life.
