Building Learning Power: Helping Young People Become Better Learners

By Guy Claxton

International research into how the mind works shows that we are all capable of becoming better learners. Building Learning Power applies this research directly to the work of teachers in classrooms, to provide a practical framework for fostering lifelong learning in all young people. To prosper in the learning age, we must learn to embrace uncertainty with robust self-confidence, and approach the future with curiosity and optimism. Building Learning Power provides a clear direction for this exciting journey, covering: How and when we learn best; The new ‘four Rs' - resilience, resourcefulness, reflectiveness and reciprocity; The learning mind; How teachers can lead others' learning, by seeing themselves as learning coaches rather than merely purveyors of knowledge; How building learning power can combat the problems of disaffection, disengagement and disenchantment and increase achievement in tests and examinations; The skills and understanding that will enable teachers to help young people become better learners; How building learning power can be practically applied in schools and colleges.
