Description
This is the first book in the Learning to Learn for Life series of practical resource materials for everyone interested in developing better schools and lifelong learners. It has a particular emphasis on Foundation and Key Stage 1. Other key stages will feature in later publications. This book is based on Phase 3 of the Campaign for Learning's Learning to Learn in Schools action research project, which is examining how to help pupils learn most effectively and so give each one the best chance to achieve his or her full potential. Phase 3 develops the outcomes of Phases 1 and 2 of the project, which have previously been published in Teaching pupils how to learn and Creating a learning to learn school. This book includes: - what learning to learn is - an outline of the Learning to Learn in Schools Action Research Project, what it is trying to achieve and the results so far - case studies written by primary school teachers with a wealth of activities that can be adapted by individual schools - ideas to help teachers move learning to learn forward in schools - a list of helpful resources.
