Learning Power: helping young people become better learners

Nicola Howard, VP Our Staff

Date: Tuesday 8th March

Time: 8:30am - 10:00am

Venue: PLC, Steve Warry Centre

Learning Power is the ability and the inclination to learn. It is about learning how to be a better learner. It is about the individual learner and their personal ‘disposition’ towards learning. This is something that can be learnt, practised and improved. It is a learning culture that encourages students and teachers to become better learners. It allows children to approach difficulties in learning without the fear of failure, to take small steps within learning, and it develops confidence. Learning Power allows us to develop a common language for learning across the school and home. We aim to develop our students’ Learning Power, not just so they can complete school learning more easily and effectively, but so they will leave school with the ‘disposition’ (a set of habits and attitudes) which will serve them through the journey of life.
