New artwork installed: Effective learning at Broadford

We have been focusing this year on Building Learning Power. This is a shared language that all the teachers and pupils use to describe the skills an effective learner needs.

Reciprocity - the ability to work well with others, showing understanding for the views and feelings of others and being able to imitate effectively.

Resilience - to persevere when stuck, to manage distractions effectively, to notice links between ideas and to be able to become absorbed in a task

Reflectiveness - to plan your next steps forward, to revise what you have learnt and to distill the most important points

Resourcefulness - to be able to ask effective questions, to use your imagination and to show reasoning when solving a problem

It is about celebrating 'stuckness' where children and teachers enjoy the challenge of learning new skills. Learning shouldn't be too easy... if it is, you'll be bored!
