Think Like a Learner (Paperback)

Here is a brilliant new practical work book to help children acquire the language, skills and self-awareness of successful learners.Everyone is good at something and we can all be good at learning if we know how to think and behave as learners. This book will show your children how, and help them to understand, why it is important. Think Like a Learner! asks children to involve themselves in key questions about learning and develops their self-awareness as self-critical thinkers and learners How do we think and talk about learning? 'Think like a learner' is for learners, rather than exclusively for teachers, although the authors very much hope that teachers and learners will explore together the ideas that are presented. It is vital to acknowledge learners as the co-constructors of their learning rather than perceiving themselves as the recipients of learning provided by teachers. This book will hopefully demonstrate how we can all be good at learning if we know how to think and behave as learners, and it also emphasises why this is so important - exploring how we think and talk about learning, the significance of 'bouncebackability', the features of high quality team learning and developing greater responsibility for our own learning. We often focus too much on the outcome of learning rather than on the process. In 'Think like a learner', we try to help children see that when they develop the ability to bounce back, recognise their own problems, solve them, and learn together in teams, whatever outcome they are aiming for, success in getting it becomes more likely.
