ACTIVATING LEARNERS
'What’s the one thing you would change about your pupils?'
We’ve asked this question to thousands of teachers and school leaders, all over the world. And the answer is often a variation on a theme:
​
‘I wish they were more independent’
‘I wish they had more self-belief’
‘I wish they were less passive - I feel like I have to spoon-feed them’
​
With the best of intentions, adults in schools set the agenda for what needs to be learned, when, and how. This makes for an efficient use of time, but it has an unfortunate side-effect. Many young people come to depend on their teachers so much that can’t do very much - well, in-dependently.
Here, we arrive at the question that has driven much of our work for the last 15 years:
'Is it possible to teach people how to become more confident, proactive, self-regulated learners?'
As you can see in the video testimonials below, our research suggests that the answer to this question is a resounding ‘Yes!’.
