learning to learn

For the past two weeks we have been focusing on how to be a good learner. As learners we face new challenges everyday and need to develop skills and tools to help us overcome these challenges.

Together with the class we have set four goals to work on until the end of term:

Focus - keeping on task and not worrying about what other people are doing.

Resiliency - Trying to overcome problems before asking for help, not letting others/situations stop me from learning. Not giving up.

Presentation - Is my work neat and legible so I know where I am up to?

Pride - Did I do my best today, can I be proud of myself?

At the end of each lesson we reflect as a class and decide if we are beginning, developing or mastering this goal.
