Teaching pupils how to learn
research, practice and INSET resources
Description
This publication combines the research findings from the first year of the Campaign for Learning co-ordinated Learning to Learn in Schools action research project with: - practical case studies of how some of the schools implemented Learning to Learn - a fascinating summary of how the thinking behind the project evolved - innovative 'discussion mats' for use by teachers wanting to introduce this thinking into their schools The project has involved 24 schools, ranging from the early years to Key Stage 4, exploring the impact of using Learning to Learn approaches and teaching pupils how to learn on standards and motivation. In the event one of the most significant findings has been the impact on teacher morale of re-focussing on learning, making the publication a must for its 'discussion mats' alone for any school worried about teacher retention.
