The Learning Power Approach: Teaching Learners to Teach Themselves
English
By (author): Guy Claxton
Become mind-fit for life!
Learning is learnable! Educators can explicitly teach not just content, knowledge and skills, but also positive learning attitudes and habits of mind. Guy Claxtons The Learning Power Approach will help teachers understand how every lesson, every day shapes the way students see themselves as learners. This is the beauty of the Learning Power Approach: it is something all teachers can integrate into their daily practice. Claxtons work helps us notice what lies beneath the surface of our teaching and attend more closely to the way we shape dispositions and attitudes. Readers will find:
approaches focused on building character alongside knowledge acquisition
cognitive, social and neuroscientific supportive evidence
practical illustrations and strategies
Written by a renowned cognitive scientist, this book offers a ground-breaking set of design principles for strengthening students learning muscles.
This is the beauty of the Learning Power Approach. It is not a program, not a subject, not an add-on - it is something all teachers can integrate into their practice on a daily basis. Claxtons work helps us notice what lies beneath the surface of our teaching and to attend much more closely to the way we shape dispositions and attitudes to learning.
