has on children's' academic progress. I have
found the DfES websites and the documents such
as- A National Conversation about Personalised
learning, but I am struggling to find any other
sources as I don't want to over rely on just the
DfES information. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated. answer..   Hello, I am researching
learning styles and how these can impact on the
management of learning. I have found a lot of
generic information, but I am having difficulty

disruption in the classroom affects learning.
Could you suggest any books for
reference?answer..
