In The Learning Power Approach: Teaching learners to teach
themselves Guy Claxton sets out the design principles of a
pedagogical formula that aims to strengthen students' learning
muscles and develop their independence, initiative, determination,
and love of learning. Foreword by Carol S. Dweck. Learning is
learnable! Educators can explicitly teach not just content,
knowledge, and skills, but also the positive habits of mind that
will better prepare students to flourish both in school and in
later life. And as `traditionalists' fight for rigour and
knowledge, and `progressives' defend the increasing focus on
character and well-being, Guy Claxton's Learning Power Approach
(LPA) brings resolution to this phoney and unnecessary war by
offering teachers a win-win pedagogical formula that delivers good
academic results while simultaneously turbocharging students'
independence, initiative, and love of learning. In this
groundbreaking book Guy distils fifteen years' experience with his
influential Building Learning Power method to provide a set of
design principles for strengthening students' learning muscles, and
- together with a wealth of practical strategies and the supporting
evidence that underpins them - details the small tweaks to daily
practice that will help teachers attend more closely to the ways in
which they can shape their students' learning dispositions and
attitudes. Complemented by engaging and informative classroom
examples of the LPA in action - and drawing from research into the
fields of mindset, metacognition, grit, and collaborative learning
- The Learning Power Approach describes in detail the suite of
beliefs, values, attitudes, and habits of mind that go in to making
up learning power, and offers a thorough explanation of what its
intentions and guiding principles are. Furthermore, in order to
help those who are just setting out on their LPA journey, Guy
presents teachers with an attractive menu of customisable
strategies and activities to choose from as they begin to embed the
LPA principles into their own classroom culture, and also includes
at the end of each chapter a "Wondering" section that serves to
prompt reflection, conversation, and action among teachers.
Suitable for teachers and leaders in all educational settings,The
Learning Power Approach carefully lays the groundwork for a series
of books to follow that are specifically tailored to primary
teaching, secondary teaching, and school leadership.
