Building Learning Power™

What does it take to be good at learning?

Things like perseverance, curiosity, self-knowledge and collaboration.

Can these qualities be cultivated by teachers?

Yes, certainly they can.

How do you know?

Because there's masses of scientific evidence.

But does it work in practice?

Yes, a number of teachers are already doing it.

Is it important that teachers do it?

Yes, vitally so.

Why?

Because students will get better qualifications, and they'll need those qualities in life.
(Oh, and it makes teaching easier and more satisfying too.)

Do you need to be an exceptional teacher, or have bright students?

No, it works for all.

How can it be done?

By creating a particular climate in classrooms and throughout the school or college.

Yes, but how precisely do you do that?

That's what our series of books and training opportunities is about.

What do you call this approach to education?

We call it Building Learning Power.
