Opis

Based on 40 years of research into how the most able students think and learn, High Performance Learning takes what is known about the characteristics of advanced cognitive performance and translates it into a practical and user-friendly framework which can be used with all students and staff. Flexible and adaptable it can used in any context, with any curriculum and at any age. It does not require separate lessons but rather becomes the underpinning pedagogy of the school. Evidence based and extensively trialled in schools in eleven countries, this book provides readers with a ground breaking and approachable model for achieving high levels of academic performance for all students and schools.

Recenzje

"The High-Performance Learning approach focuses on ensuring that every child gets consistently good instruction and support to achieve both soft skills and knowledge at a high level [...]Governors would find this book a useful structure to think about the 'character' of the school they want as part of a full review or strategy discussion." - Carol Long, Governing Matters
