Schools that want to be world class are now paying attention to the
findings from neuroscience and psychology that tell us we can build
better brains. They are changing their mindset, expecting success
for far more students and no longer being constrained by ideas of
genetic potential. High Performance Learning provides readers with
a ground-breaking and approachable model for achieving high levels
of academic performance for all students and schools. It takes what
is known about how people reach advanced cognitive performance and
translates it into a practical and user-friendly framework, which
can be used with all students to systematically build the cognitive
thinking skills and learner behaviours that will deliver success in
school, in the workplace and in later life. Flexible and adaptable,
High Performance Learning can be used in any context, with any
curriculum and at any age. It does not require separate lessons but
rather becomes the underpinning pedagogy of the school. Drawing on
the author's 40 years of research into how the most able students
think and learn, this book provides a framework that has been
extensively trialled in schools in eleven countries. . Themes
include: Creating world class schools The High Performance Learning
environment The High Performance Learning framework Advanced
Cognitive Performance characteristics (ACPs) Values, Attitudes and
Attributes (VAAs) Creating and leading a High Performance Learning
school The role of parents, universities and employers. This
invaluable resource will help schools make the move from good to
world class and will be essential reading for school leaders,
teachers and those with an interest in outstanding academic
performance.
