**Focusing on the teachers (what we ask of ourselves)**
What are the learning outcomes? How do the learning outcomes fit with the curriculum? How will I be fully inclusive and engaging? How can we motivate our learners to learn? What preparation do I need to do and what materials do I need to achieve this? Were the learning outcomes met/ satisfied? What worked/ didn't work? What did I learn about my learners? What did I learn about myself?

Exploring the different environments
Are there differences in learning different subjects e.g languages, maths, science, humanities? or Is "learning" a generic process? How does the learning environment, teachers' expectations, family attitudes, relationships with peers, self esteem impact on learning? Is there a 'recipe' - a guaranteed method of ensuring optimum learning for individuals/the group?
