Our motto is...
Safe - Happy - Learning
The TPA motto is based on a book by Mike Hughes 'And the Main Thing is ... Learning'.
This book argues that the future, in terms of both pedagogy and policy, demands an approach rooted in learning. More specifically, it suggests that:
- everything we do must be based explicitly upon learning
- teachers must be learners too
- we have a professional responsibility to go on learning about learning, because the better we understand learning and the learning process the better able we are to facilitate it in others. (Mike Hughes 2006)
