A practical workbook of activities designed to supercharge GCSE
students' resilience, positivity, organisation and determination.
Successful students approach their studies with the right
behaviours, skills and attitudes: they understand how to learn and
revise effectively, they're determined and organised, they give
more discretionary effort and they get top results. Success at GCSE
is a result of character, not intelligence. The GCSE Mindset
Student Workbook offers students a structured way to work through
the 40 activities in Steve Oakes and Martin Griffin's The GCSE
Mindset (ISBN 978-178583184-3). It coaches students to develop the
key characteristics which will help them be successful at GCSE:
vision, effort, systems, practice and attitude (VESPA). Based on
the authors' collective 30-plus years of teaching and coaching,
this practical workbook will enable students to break through
barriers, build resilience, better manage their workload and
release their potential. While categorised thematically under the
VESPA umbrella, the activities have been sequenced chronologically
by month in order to chart the student's journey through the
academic year and to help navigate the psychological terrain ahead.
Each activity has been designed with a pupil audience in mind,
takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete, and allows space for students
to record and reflect on their answers and to organise their
thinking. Sold in packs of 25, the workbook sets are ideally suited
for GCSE teachers and tutors who want their classes to benefit from
the GCSE mindset and are using The GCSE Mindset.
The GCSE Mindset: 40 activities for transforming student
commitment, motivation and productivity, written by Steve Oakes and
Martin Griffin, offers a wealth of concrete, practical and
applicable tools designed to supercharge GCSE students' resilience,
positivity, organisation and determination. At a time when GCSE
teaching can feel like a conveyor belt of micromanaged lessons and
last-ditch interventions, Steve and Martin - acclaimed authors of
The A Level Mindset - suggest a different approach, underpinned by
their VESPA model of essential life skills: vision, effort,
systems, practice and attitude. These five non-cognitive
characteristics beat cognition hands down as predictors of academic
success, and in The GCSE Mindset Steve and Martin take this simple
model as their starting point and present a user-friendly
month-by-month programme of activities, resources and strategies
that will help students break through barriers, build resilience,
better manage their workload and ultimately release their potential
- both in the classroom and beyond. The book's forty activities,
while categorised thematically under the VESPA umbrella, have been
sequenced chronologically by month in order to better chart the
student's journey through the academic year and to help them
navigate the psychological terrain ahead. Each activity can be
delivered one-to-one, to a tutor group or to a whole cohort, has
been designed to take fifteen to twenty minutes to complete, and
has been written with a pupil audience in mind. However, to
complement the tasks' practical utility, the authors also explore
the underpinning research and theory - including the pioneering
work of Angela Duckworth, Dr Steve Bull and Carol Dweck - in more
detail in the introduction to each section. Informed by the
authors' collective thirty-plus years of teaching and coaching,
this essential handbook for GCSE success also suggests key coaching
questions and interventions for use with pupils and includes expert
guidance on how schools can implement and audit the core components
and outcomes of the VESPA approach in their own settings.
Additionally - and indeed pertinently in the present educational
environment where empirical data is valued so highly - the book
features a chapter dedicated to the measurement of mindset, written
by guest contributors Dr Neil Dagnall and Dr Andrew Denovan from
Manchester Metropolitan University. They present the
twenty-eight-item VESPA questionnaire, which they helped Steve and
Martin to design, and take the reader through the research process
behind its origins before going on to describe how it can be used
to identify areas for development and to measure the impact of
interventions. Suitable for teachers, tutors and parents who want
to boost 14-16-year-olds' academic outcomes and equip them with
powerful tools and techniques in preparation for further education
and employment.
During their combined 40 plus years of teaching and coaching, Steve
and Martin have discovered something important: those students who
make real and sustained progress at A level aren't necessarily the
ones with superb GCSEs. Some students leap from average results in
Year 11 to outstanding results in Year 13, while others seem to hit
a ceiling. But why?It was in trying to answer this question that
the VESPA system emerged. Steve and Martin have cut through the
noise surrounding character development and identified five key
characteristics that all students need in order to be successful:
vision, effort, systems, practice and attitude.These
characteristics beat cognition hands down. Having pinned down the
core traits that contribute to student success, the authors have
developed a range of practical activities to help every student
develop the A Level Mindset: 40 concrete, easy-to-use and
applicable tools and strategies that will supercharge learners'
ambition, organisation, productivity, persistence and
determination.And in this revised edition Steve and Martin present
a range of case studies and useful advice on effective
implementation to guide schools towards putting the VESPA model
into practice. Furthermore, they have also revamped the
introductions to each aspect of the VESPA model with updated
insights and references.Suitable for teachers, tutors, heads of
sixth form or anyone else who wants to help A level students
achieve their potential.
In The Student Mindset: A 30-item toolkit for anyone learning
anything, Steve Oakes and Martin Griffin provide clear, effective
and engaging tools designed to help students plan, organise and
execute successful learning. Successful students find a way to
succeed. They get the results they want. And they achieve this not
by superior ability, but by sticking to habits, routines and
strategies that deliver those results. By cutting through the noise
surrounding academic success and character development, bestselling
authors Steve Oakes and Martin Griffin have identified the five key
traits and behaviours that all students need in order to achieve
their goals: vision, effort, systems, practice and attitude
(VESPA). These characteristics beat cognition hands down, and in
The Student Mindset Steve and Martin provide a ready-made series of
study strategies, approaches and tactics designed to nurture these
qualities and transform your motivation, commitment and
productivity. The book's thirty activities, while categorised
thematically under the VESPA umbrella, have been organised around
six key phases of learning so that you can recognise which phase
you're in before choosing from the range of tools and techniques to
help you get through it. The six co-existing key phases are:
preparation; starting study; collecting and shaping; adapting,
testing and performing; flow and feedback; and dealing with the
dip. At each phase you'll experience challenges and discover new
ways of working, and this book's activities have been designed to
help you gain control and become a better learner by sharing
workload management tactics and revision strategies associated with
calm, purposeful study and - ultimately - getting good results.
These tools include a range of effective prioritisation, stress
reduction, procrastination-busting and mindset development
approaches - all neatly packaged into this outstanding practical
guide to becoming a successful and confident student. Suitable for
all students.
