Introduction

The Learning Partnership has been engaged by many UK schools, to help embed brain friendly learningprinciples throughout the learning journey that pupils undertake.

It is the experience of The Learning Partnership that for a school to truly change it approach to learning anddevelopment, the ownership of that change must reside with all pupils and staff. Our role therefore, is to helpleadership as a whole develop the skills to design and develop the plan, lead the process and continue thedrive to improve the learning experience of all parties connected to the school. We will seek to develop agroup of teachers within the school that are accredited to use all of the materials within the MESSAGEmodel, able to deliver training based upon the developmental needs of the school at any point in the future.Between them, the accredited teachers and the whole leadership team can then take on the task of planninginfrastructural developments within the school to support the change program.

The Learning Partnership and its team will be on hand to support the ongoing development within the schoolas and when required.

As Community Interest Company, our non-profit status allows us to deliver exceptional resources intoschools at rates that are affordable and sustainable.


A Change model for schools

The desire of any school to embed brain friendly learning principles throughout, can only become a realityquickly if this desire is matched by a willingness to plan strategically and for the long term, develop theleadership skills of both senior and middle management, and look at the many ways infrastructure and theenvironment around the school can be enhanced to support this change. The Learning partnership hasdeveloped this into a model – the Brain Friendly Learning (BFL) stool of change - if any one of the legs ismissing the stool is likely to fall over.

Historical approaches to the introduction of any of the materials included in the MESSAGE Model have metwith limited success for exactly this reason. Take mind mapping as one example – any teacher who hasused this technique will know that for learners in any class between 30 & 50% will find this tool a moreeffective learning approach than linear note taking, and yet the lack of support provided to teachers inembedding this tool throughout the curriculum, has resulted in its diminishing use in schools all over the UK.

The leadership’s goal in a school that is seriously committed to modernising learning must be to use everyopportunity to re-enforce learning and support change.

The Team

Lex McKee - BA (Hons), MCIPD

Founder of LearnFast World Ltd; iCademy Ltd, Lex Studios Ltd;Analogica Ltd and Metamorphosis Records Ltd. Lex McKee has been inthe business of training and entertainment since 1982.

Weaving the two fields together, he believes in the importance of‘Entertrainment®’ – making learning both an enjoyable and engagingprocess.

Naturally Successful Learning stimulates the emotions as well as the long-term memory, which means thatentertraining experiences last longer and promote higher motivation leading to more sustainable change.Entertrainment® makes sound neurological & financial sense in the business of thinking.

Lex has worked for well over a decade within the world of brain friendly learning, firstly with the Buzanorganisation and now The learning Partnership. His partnership with Vanda North at Buzan resulted in themchampioning brain friendly learning through Tony Buzan’s techniques of Mind Mapping, Speed Reading andMnemonic systems. As a Buzan Master Trainer, Lex was responsible for Buzan trainer-training in the UK forsix years.

Lex specialises in three key development areas: learning, influencing, and creativity – the three fieldsassociated with success in life and business and all applications of thinking skills.

He has pioneered competence-based assessment in Accelerated Training methods for The Registry ofAccelerated Trainers, enabling training professionals to design and deliver learning in soft and hard skills in afaster delivery time, with longer lasting retention, and with deeper learning mastery. His unique system ispublished in Gower’s “The Accelerated Trainer” - recognised as one of the most comprehensive andaccessible guides to the application of accelerated learning. To demonstrate these techniques he wrote theprogramme ‘touch type in two hours’ which has now become a successful software product.

Strategically, he is now working on the concepts of “Living Organisations”, using biological, ecological,psychological, and even theological models to propose a fresh paradigm for education and business vitalityand longevity.

As a Consultant, he has worked with such household names as British Gas, British Telecom, BurmahPetroleum Fuels Ltd, Clarks International, The CIPD, Colgate-Palmolive, DHL, Dundee City Council, ElsevierScience, Fenman, Hill Samuel Investment Group, IBM, J P Morgan, John Mowlem Construction, variousNHS Trusts, Price Waterhouse, Rotring UK, Royal Mail and Safeway Stores plc. This work has all beenrooted in boosting the Intellectual Capital of these organisations, helping Thinking Organisations get themost from their human resources.

While much of this work is direct training, he backs up the training through personal coaching, writing, audioreview materials, and through the expression of corporate concepts using Mind Maps®.

Lex runs a project studio to support direct training with ‘accelerated’ audio visual productions. The studioalso offers a design service for educational materials.

Michele GoughBefore becoming an independent consultant with TLP, Michèle worked initiallyin retail and financial management during the 80’s boom before seeing the lightand moving into the world of education. With a European background (Dutchmother, Spanish lineage, born in France) as early influence, she holds a JointHonours degree in French and Spanish. Holding Qualified Teacher Status andHeadteacher accreditation, Michèle brings with her a wealth of knowledge,humour and insight from her time spent working as a secondary teacher(“probably the most rewarding part of my professional life thus far”), seniorleader (“dealing with adults and their emotional and professional baggage isvastly more complicated than working with children and young people”) andadviser (“routinely beaten up by those above you and not trusted by those belowyou”) both locally and nationally.

A strong background in operational and strategic management together with knowledge and insight fromher experiences of working in a variety of cross-phase educational and multi-agency settings, mainlyinvolving schools facing challenging circumstances, enable her to work confidently with individuals andteams, children and adults; Michèle’s input and training help to not only raise standards but also to createthe inclusive social and emotional ethos that underpins the Every Child Matters Agenda, engages allagencies and serves the needs of the community.

In his keynote speechhe tells the inspirational and exciting story of how, after a decade in the national team he won an OlympicGold Medal. His crew was the first British winners of the event since 1912.

After seven years competing in the national team Ben was still a long way from winning any World Medals.He tells of how things had to change, there could be no excuses. He and the team set their ambitions andstarted looking for different ways to achieve them, defining absolutely everything that could make the boat gofaster. They changed their mindset, their approach and their training and as a result, their performance.

Ben’s story of the journey to an Olympic Gold Medal bridges the reality gap between just listening to howothers achieve their goals and doing it yourself. His experience as a business coach has allowed Ben a greatdeal of insight into the corporate world.
