Every school approaches Acorn differently.
Some schools begin with Field Journals for teachers to explore. Others introduce a complete class journey. Some choose additional explorer resources to create a more immersive experience. Some even choose products to do at home as well as at school so continuing the learning journey over the summer holidays.
Your Acorn lead can help you find the approach that best fits your learners, timetable and goals.
