PLA materials on cell-based learning
Developed by Claire Collins for the Prisoner Learning Alliance, these materials focus on education approaches and resources that can be used by teachers to support cell-based prison education.
The PLA has published a new set of materials to support cell-based prison education. Developed by Claire Collins for the PLA, the materials focus on education approaches and resources that can be used by teachers to support cell-based learning.
Initially developed as a response to lockdown, in-cell resources are now a key strand of delivering prison education. Our new materials can be used individually or taken as a ‘course’ to help develop your practice.
By engaging with these materials, you will have the opportunity to:
- Review some sample resources to identify their potential for independent, cell-based learning
- Consider key features of sample resources that may benefit prison learners studying independently
- Build up a list of effective practice features to help you develop, adapt, and choose resources and approaches for cell-based learning
- Review action research carried out by prison teachers on the topic of cell-based learning
