Benefits
Strategies for Learning is a resource from the authors of The Behaviour Management Toolkit. It uses five basic techniques to bring about changes to learning that will enable you to:
- challenge the way your students think about things to help them believe they can achieve
- encourage your students to become more self-aware so they can examine their own thinking
- consider with your students how use of language affects their thought patterns
- teach your students various techniques in relation to breathing and muscle control that can directly assist in changing attitudes and feelings about learning
- teach students how the imagination can be used to help them achieve
Summary of contents
There is an urgent need to develop techniques that will turn students on to learning. Teachers need help to tackle the learning blocks that many students have developed over the years and to empower them with a range of skills and techniques that can be used to boost and strengthen their learning. This is where Strategies for Learning comes in.
How does the book work?
The main practical tool used throughout this book is the student worksheet. Tutor notes at the start of each unit explain the concepts employed and provide instructions for use.
How do I use it?
This will vary according to both the tutor’s objectives and the time available. For some units it would be best for staff to work with individuals or small groups of students. Other units can be used to form part of a PSE or study skills programme with larger groups, or it can be used with small groups or individuals to address a specific problem such as poor organisation, lack of persistence or difficulties with time management. The tutor notes and selected worksheets can also be used for staff training sessions.
