BLP Building Learning Power
The Four Rs • Resourcefulness • Reflectiveness • Resilience • Reciprocity
RESOURCEFULNESS • The Octopus! • Being ready, willing and able to learn in different ways.. • Questioning • Making links • Imagining • Reasoning • Capitalising
Reflectiveness • The owl! • Being ready, willing and able to become more strategic about learning. • Planning • Revising • Distilling • Meta learning (key!!)
Resilience • The elephant! • Being ready, willing and able to lock onto learning • Absorption • Managing distractions • Noticing • Perseverance
Reciprocity • The Bear! • Being ready, willing and able to learn alone and with others • Interdependence • Collaboration • Empathy and listening • Imitation
Dependency. Lets reduce it! • We want our pupils to be able to think for themselves... • Be problem solvers... • Being proactive, not reactive • Taking initiative • Not needing to be told what to do • Taking, not shirking responsibility • Not blaming others
What can we do at home? Resilience (being like an elephant!) • Demonstrate sticking at things even if they are tricky • Talk about how you feel when you are taking on challenges • Praise your child when they keep going! • Help them to find interests and activities that really get involved in and love! • Talk with them about what helps them to concentrate and manage distractions
Resourcefulness (being like an octopus!) • Encourage questions • Making links between different ideas • Fire up your child’s imagination • Help them to find ways of using resources such as reference books, dictionaries, the Internet
Reflectiveness (being like an owl!) • Encourage them to take responsibility for preparing for school • Ask not what they did at school, but what they learned • Help them to think about, and plan, activities • Encourage flexibility..
Reciprocity (being like a bear!) • Demonstrate/model being a good learner • Work and play alongside your children, enabling them to pick up good habits through imitation • Make expectations of turn-taking and cooperation clear
