Description
Guy Claxton's groundbreaking book offers a revolutionary approach to teaching and learning. By explicitly teaching not just content, but also positive habits of mind, educators can empower students to flourish both in school and beyond. The Learning Power Approach provides a win-win pedagogical formula that delivers good academic results while turbocharging students' independence, initiative, and love of learning. Claxton distils 15 years of experience with his Building Learning Power method to provide design principles for strengthening students' learning muscles, along with practical strategies and evidence-based insights. This book offers a thorough explanation of the suite of beliefs, values, attitudes, and habits of mind that make up learning power, helping teachers shape their students' learning dispositions and attitudes.
