The Learning Classroom
Supporting Educators to Make Student Learning Visible, Shareable, Amplified and Meaningful
Alice Vigors
Some books arrive in your hands and feel instantly like a conversation you wish you’d been part of sooner. The Learning Classroom by Alice Vigors is one of them.
Vigors invites us to step into a space where learning is no longer something hidden inside a student’s mind, but something visible, shared and celebrated. Drawing on evidence-informed strategies, she brings clarity to concepts such as formative assessment, feedback, and student agency, translating them into ideas that feel ready for the classroom tomorrow.
The way Vigors positions teachers and leaders as co-learners alongside their students is key here. Her tone is warm and grounded - equal parts encouragement and challenge - reminding us that the role of the educator is to help students understand how they are learning, not just what they have learned.
The book is peppered with strategies, templates and examples that could work in any setting, yet it never feels prescriptive. Instead, it’s an open invitation to adapt, to trial, and to reflect. It leaves you wondering: What shifts could happen in our classrooms if students could explain the steps they took to grow their understanding? What might change if learning was something our whole community could see?
In a profession where time is always tight and demands are ever-present, The Learning Classroom offers a clear pathway towards making learning both purposeful and joyful. If you are looking for a resource that will spark ideas, affirm your practice and open new conversations with colleagues, Alice Vigors’s The Learning Classroom is well worth your attention.
