Hangleton Primary Learning Behaviours Rationale
Children in school today are going to be facing huge challenges in the wider world and we are working with them to develop skills and attitudes that will enable them to be successful. We have 6 learning behaviours focussed on developing our pupil’s ability to discuss their learning as well helping them to develop the language in order to do this.
Developing learning behaviours and skills is important because:
- They draw attention to the processes of learning and not just the products.
- They are more likely to engage children in active rather than passive learning.
- They enable children to go beyond the mere recall of information and to develop deeper understanding of topics.
- They create positive dispositions and habits for learning.
- They provide a new range of criteria against which children can evaluate their progress in learning.
Essentially, they enable pupils to learn how to learn.
