Home What it is Why change? How it's done The BLP Network Read about it BLP Share

Building students' learningpower affects classroom practice, the organisation of the curriculum, the physical environment, the development of staff and the leadership of the school. It amounts to a longitudinal and mulit-layered culture change process across the school. Being a better learner means you tackle problems confidently (learning) using a broad range of effective learning behaviours, you understand youself as a growing learner and you have the appetite to keep on learing throughoutlife.
Building Learning Power is about helping all young people become better learners
Building better learners involves teachers in designing and using learning activities that deliberately stretch and exercise a full range of learning orientated habits of mind. Teachers become learning coaches. Becoming a better learner means you have a language to talk about learning, and are aware of using and strengthening a range of effective learning behaviours more frequently, more skillfully and in more situation. Over time these effective learning behaviours become your learning habits.
