Welcome to the school. This resource is for you as a teacher new to the school, to ensure you are aware of our approach to learning. It’s an approach that aims to develop students’ learning dispositions and skills in order to strengthen their learning character.
This resource offers you information and practical advice across 4 sections;
- Section 1 Overviews of and things to remember about the school’s approach to learning.
- Section 2 The school’s approach to learning. Deeper information about our approach to learning for both students and teachers.
- Section 3 Discover your students as learners. A closer look at how learning behaviours grow and your own learning journey.
- Section 4 Developing your classroom practice. Useful ideas you could use to begin implementing this approach to learning in your classroom.
We hope all these sections will enable you, as a teacher new to the school, to ease into contributing to the growth of the powerful learning culture and ensure your students continue their development as ‘learning aware’ learners.
