Download publicationThis study unit offers some practical strategies that teachers use to develop effective learners. The topics covered include:
- Effective learners
- Planning to teach learning skills
- Supporting pupils in developing independence
- Supporting thinking
The techniques suggested are tried and tested; they draw on both academic research and the experience of practising teachers. By working through this guide, teachers can build their repertoire step by step, starting with strategies that are easy to implement and moving on to those that will help pupils develop their skills further.
The unit contains ‘reflections’, to help teachers reflect on an idea or on their own practice, and a summary of the research with suggestions for ‘next steps’ and further reading.
