Paperback. Condizione: New. 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 Throughout the book, case studies based on the research projects and findings of individual schools are included, along with resources for auditing and developing 'learning to learn' in your school and helpful summaries of key research and the different approaches that make up 'learning to learn'.The r esearch findings themselves in Chapter 5 are presented as photocopiable sheets for use in staff INSET as are the audit questionnaires. Also included is a poster for use in classrooms setting what is involved in 'learning to learn'.

Paperback. Condizione: New. This text offers a framework in which the intuitions of individual teachers have been synthesised into a broader understanding of how learning happens. It suggests a holistic model, which strives to integrate a number of learning theories. The book uses the metaphorical notion of the "learner's journey", to discuss how learning happens over time. The learner is the "hero" of the adventure, who having been "called to action" travels on an exciting but sometimes arduous journey from the "ordinary world", towards the ultimate reward of independent learning and self-development.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 1st ed. This book describes how an ordinary high school set about incorporating accelerated learning into its teaching practices and policies. Headteacher Derek Wise provides a macro view of the process, discussing the changes made across the whole school. Head of Science, Mark Lovatt, provides a micro view, looking at ways to use accelerated learning in the classroom. Their experiences provide useful reading for any school wishing to improve the learning quality of its students. Several case studies are included to show how accelerated learning techniques can be applied to different subjects.

Paperback. Condizione: New. What does 'supporting the school' really mean? What can a staff governor take part in? How can we deal with a misbehaving governor? Do LEA governors have to toe a party line? Should a new head opt to be a governor? Do we have to give the head an annual pay rise? In this collection of articles originally printed in her well-known weekly 'Agenda' advice column in the Times Educational Supplement, Joan Sallis tackles these and many other questions with the humour, humanity and candour for which she is renowned. She defines boundaries, clarifies the representative role of school governors, offers guidance on relations between the head and the governing body, and the principles, procedures and skills that underpin successful team-building, sound decision-making, and honourable behaviour among all those groups which make up the school community. This collection is an essential complement to the best-selling Basics for School governors. It includes a concise summary of new regulations (made under the Education Act 2002) which came out in the summer of 2003, and which could significantly change the way governing bodies work.Not only school governors, head teachers and parents, but anyone who has to manage difficult 'people situations', in any context, will gain valuable insights from the range of experience and wisdom concentrated within these pages.
