Background to HLMHLM was developed by CETL, the University of Ulster to

combine two different, but complementary learning development tools, from around the world:

1) The 8 Learning Events Model by LabSET University of Liège, Belgium; and,

2) Teaching and learning verbs by Sue Bennett University of Wollongong, Australia.

The 30 Learning Verbs

How the 8 Events of Learning and the Learning verbs are combined to make HLM

• CETL matched the learning verb to the appropriate learning events, defining teacher and learner roles.

• These were put together on a flash card, that can be used to help planning and reflection.

Planning at Queensbury School

• All staff have a planning book, with lesson plans (as above) to complete for each lesson, by hand.

• At the end of the year the plans are filed away, never to be seen again.

paper staff planner.Planning can be saved

on the shared area with resources, so everything
