In 2022, I travelled to England to visit some of the best classrooms in the country.

The trip blew me away.

Until then, I had no idea how good teaching could be. The attentiveness of students, the pace of teaching, the focus, the engagement, and the learning all far surpassed what I thought was possible.

It set the standard that I have since aspired to.

When I returned from that trip, I thought to myself, ‘Every teacher deserves to be able to see inside these classrooms’.

Well, that day has now come—and now you can.

I couldn’t be more delighted to share that Steplab has spent the past year with a film crew in the classrooms of some of the best teachers in England. Today, we’ve released that footage in a 4-part documentary, entirely for free.

I think that this footage is going to change the face of education!

Even better, each docco comes with a set of resources designed to be used by teachers and school leaders to turn these documentaries from a learning experience into a transformative one.

This is your chance to visit the best classrooms in the UK.

Your portal awaits!
