Creating a learning
to learn school is
a book for heads, senior managers and teachers interested
in developing better schools, classrooms and learners.
It is based on two years of ground-breaking research
in 25 schools by over 100 teachers and many thousands
of pupils. The research explored a variety of approaches
to teaching pupils how they learn and evaluated the
impact on standards, pupil motivation and teacher morale.
Creating a learning to learn school sets out:
- what we mean by ‘learning
to learn’
- why ‘learning to learn’
is important today
- the implications of ‘learning
to learn’ for the government’s educational
reforms
- the findings from the ‘learning
to learn’ research project
- how heads and teachers can develop
‘learning to learn’ in their own schools
and classrooms.
