Who is MTa PASS for?

How does MTa PASS work?

MTa PASS revolves around 17 practical activities that are fun and involving. They lead into 'whole brain' learning through group interaction followed by individual and group review. Different needs are met by the varied content, difficulty and length of the activities whilst the style of learning review may be by thought provoking discussion, drama or drawing.

Why is MTa PASS effective?

It has wide appeal: young people, whatever their background, become absorbed in the activities finding them stimulating, involving, memorable and fun
It is inclusive and non-threatening: there are no right answers nor comparisons with norms (but there are opportunities to introduce competition if appropriate)
It does not involve role playing: it is about people being themselves
Learning is realised through guided thought and discussion not direction
Learning personal: students learn what is important to them as individuals, not what they are told is important
It focuses attention on specific individual development needs.

Teaching with MTa PASS:

MTa PASS offers teachers deliver high impact activity based learning tools that are easy to use. The Teacher's Guide provides background information and general advice whilst the Teacher's Notes provide the details of each activity. The key to success with MTa PASS is encouraging students to think and take personal responsibility for their learning through learning reviews, not providing ready made solutions.
