Helping your learners to… Manage Distractions

The activities, think pieces and questions in this online unit aim to help teachers make a start on:

• introducing students to one of the key learning behaviours;
• using the language of learning effectively with students;
• designing the use of learning behaviours into the way they teach;
• developing the confidence and skill in helping students to grow their learning power.

The purpose of building your students’ Learning Power is to facilitate their growth of high value psychological characteristics and strengthen their learning characters. These skills, attitudes and values, when used with increasing competence and confidence across many learning opportunities, become learning habits; the characteristics of successful lifelong learners.
