Elevating questioning, thinking and learning in every classroom

Used by top leading universities, schools and educators across Australia, the ALARM framework helps to improve student literacy and deepen learning across all subjects.

“Figuring out what questions to ask will be more important than figuring out the answer.”

Our mission

Empowering learners to ask the right questions

In a world shaped by ever-increasing complexity and change, the power of learning lies not in answers but in the quality of our questions.

The ALARM framework helps students master the art of questioning, equipping them with the skills to dive deeper, think critically, and respond with insight.

By learning to ask better questions, learners uncover meaning, challenge assumptions, and unlock higher-order thinking across every subject.

The problem

Everyone’s doing their best. But in different directions.

Teachers and leaders face an overwhelming number of strategies, tools and programs. Many are disconnected from practice or hard to apply across different subjects and classrooms.

Without a shared approach, teams work in silos. Professional learning can be hard to access, difficult to implement and rarely sustained.

When time, energy and attention are pulled in different directions, how do we know what's best to focus on?

A meaningful solution

A simple, practical and impactful approach

The ALARM framework provides a single, consistent system that embeds questioning with evidenced-based teaching practices.

Combined with the ALARM Professional Learning Platform, schools gain access to expert-led training, subject-specific resources and a supportive educator community.

This approach builds clarity in classrooms, aligns teams across faculties and helps schools lift outcomes through a shared language of teaching and learning.
