Skola For Schools
Why Schools and Educators Are Turning to Scenario-Based Learning
Traditional worksheets fall short for today’s classrooms, especially for children with ADHD, anxiety, or SEN needs. Skola’s scenario-based papers turn learning into an immersive story, not a memory test. Whether it’s running a fruit stall to practise division or solving mysteries with adverbs, our resources help children feel the value of what they’re learning.
And that changes everything.
-
Up to 40% better retention with scenario learning vs traditional worksheets (Frontiers in Psychology, 2022)
-
ADHD learners show 2x task persistence when lessons are framed in context (CHADD, 2021)
-
Improved executive function, as pupils plan, decide, and problem-solve within each worksheet
-
Audio-enhanced packs support reading difficulties, EAL learners, and differentiated classrooms
This isn't magic, it's science
Roger Schank – Script Theory
-
Schank’s work proposed that knowledge is best understood and remembered in the form of “scripts”, structured story-like scenarios we store in long-term memory.
-
He pioneered case-based reasoning and scenario-based instruction in AI, medical training, and later education.
-
Application: Learning improves when students are put into problem-solving roles within stories, rather than passively absorbing information.
Schank sparked the idea, but he’s not alone. From Gerrig’s work on memory and emotion to studies showing that scenario learning boosts focus in SEN learners, the science stacks up. Real-world context isn’t just engaging, it’s proven to help children think deeper, remember longer, and enjoy learning more.
It’s why schools, parents, and pupils keep coming back.
