Become mind-fit for life! Learning is learnable! Educators can
explicitly teach not just content, knowledge and skills, but also
positive learning attitudes and habits of mind. Guy Claxton’s The
Learning Power Approach will help teachers understand how ‘every
lesson, every day’ shapes the way students see themselves as
learners. This is the beauty of the Learning Power Approach: it is
something all teachers can integrate into their daily practice.
Claxton’s work helps us notice ‘what lies beneath’ the surface
of our teaching and attend more closely to the way we shape
dispositions and attitudes. Readers will find: • approaches
focused on building character alongside knowledge acquisition •
cognitive, social and neuroscientific supportive evidence •
practical illustrations and strategies Written by a renowned cognitive
scientist, this book offers a ground-breaking set of design principles
for strengthening students’ learning muscles. "This is the beauty of
the Learning Power Approach. It is not a program, not a subject, not
an add-on - it is something all teachers can integrate into their
practice on a daily basis. Claxton’s work helps us notice ‘what
lies beneath’ the surface of our teaching and to attend much more
closely to the way we shape dispositions and attitudes to learning."
