Katie Holmes: Independent Learners, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

We often tell students to revise, work independently and take responsibility for their learning, but how often do we teach them how to do these things?

This book provides practical and realistic approaches to helping students develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to become successful independent learners. Drawing on educational research and classroom experience, it offers strategies that can be used immediately by teachers, tutors and school leaders.

Inside, you will discover:

• Why independent learning matters and the impact it can have on student outcomes.
• The research behind effective learning, memory and revision.
• The role of metacognition in helping students plan, monitor and evaluate their learning.
• How to teach students effective study habits and revision routines.
• Practical guidance on four powerful revision strategies - flash cards, self-quizzing, mind maps and brain dumps
• Strategies for managing distractions, procrastination and motivation.
• Whole-school approaches to embedding a culture of independent learning.

Part of the Teacher CPD Academy series from InnerDrive, this is essential reading for all teachers and school leaders looking to build fearless, independent, and metacognitive learners.
