for the EDUCATORS
Connected Learning is a teaching resource for educators looking for lesson ideas, classroom strategies, and activities they can adapt for their own students.
We bring together teaching units, classroom management advice, and classroom activities shared by teachers. The focus is everyday classroom practice — planning lessons, keeping students engaged, and running a class effectively.
Connected Learning is an independent educational publication. We maintain and publish teaching resources created by educators so they remain available to other teachers. Rather than focusing on education policy or training programs, the material here is about how teaching works inside the classroom.
You will find classroom management guidance, lesson planning ideas, teaching activities, and explanations of different teaching roles. Many lesson units were originally created by teachers and are preserved as examples educators can adapt to their own curriculum requirements.
