Learning to Learn (L2L) – KS3 & KS4
An imaginative, fast-moving, interactive work-related learning programme focusing on improving your students learning skills, to help them do better in school … and in life.
You may want to use this programme to launch L2L with your students. If so, it is ideal. But if you have already introduced L2L, then this programme could serve as a refresher - and also help your students to set these all-important skills in a work context, and so appreciate their relevance even more.
This programme helps your students understand that learning to learn is a key life skill. Your students will gain a better understanding of how their brains work and how they learn best. They will appreciate learning goals, how to break them down into achievable steps, and set deadlines.
Different types of intelligence are introduced to demonstrate that everybody is different and that everybody has their own unique gifts and talents. Students complete a self-assessment to help them identify how they are clever.
Our programme will give your students an understanding of:
- learning styles – visual, auditory, kinaesthetic and others – students are encouraged to adopt techniques that are most suited to their own personal learning style
- the brain & memory improvement - how their brain stores and recalls information
- the importance of making mistakes – doing and trying things gives them opportunities to fail and so gain useful experience, which also means taking risks
- learning tips – using a combination of stimuli (seeing, hearing, speaking, writing, doing) and effective time management
Overall the programme involves students:
- communicating and working together collaboratively in non-friendship teams, solving problems and completing practical team challenges
- often developing new friendships and a greater respect for the hidden talents of other team members
