Big 7

1 What’s the distinction between learning more, learning better and becoming a better learner?

2 What are the important Behaviours of successful learners and which are the most important to start on?

3 What small yet profound shifts in teaching methodology will make students’ learning more conscious and articulate?

4 How can teachers explicitly surface and deepen successful learning habits in students?

5 What fast-track tactics will hasten students’ grasp of the meaning of some learning habits. What routine will guide and direct thinking?

6 How through gradual and relentless exposure to ‘stretching’ learning opportunities, do young peoples’ learning habits progress?

7 With all this in mind how do classrooms and teaching need to change? What can we each do? What can we collectively do?

The format of each section is the same – an overview; a reflective activity about current practice; some ideas for moving forward.
