Exploring Learning Differently

Each of these approaches (in the left-hand menu) offers useful ideas and information we can draw from to support our own learning or to help others to learn in the context of violence.

Some do not focus explicitly on the impact of violence on learning, but can help us learn or teach to our strengths and help us find ways that we learn best. Others can help us understand more about how violence affects the brain and the self more broadly.

All can help to lead us towards inspiring alternatives to the conventional teaching approaches still dominant in many schools and educational institutions.

For those who have experienced violence these approaches would be strengthened by combining them with explicit acknowledgment of the impact of violence on learning.
