A development programme to help schools build better learners.
Hello again
We hope this resource will be a helpful follow on from our recent conversation about building your students’ learning power. Here you’ll find more information about the updated online programme ‘Building Better Learners’; a programme designed to guide your school in shifting the learning culture, and in so doing, build your students as better learners.
You’ll find sections that reinforce the leadership ground we touched on in our conversation and others that offer a closer look at the nature and structure of the content of the programme.
Just drop us a line if you’d like us to make this resource available to other members of your senior team.
We look forward to talking with you again after you’ve had chance to absorb and discuss the information detailed here.

A quick reminder…
Building Learning Power is an approach to helping young people to become better learners, both in school and out. It is about creating a culture in classrooms – and in the school more widely – that systematically cultivates the habits and attitudes that enable young people to face difficulty and uncertainty calmly, confidently and creatively. Students who are more confident of their own learning ability learn faster and learn better. They concentrate more, think harder and find learning more enjoyable.
Learning powered students have learnt how to be tenacious and resourceful, imaginative and logical, self-disciplined and self-aware, collaborative and inquisitive.
