Learning Behaviours

Note: This program requires a minimum of 20 schools to sign up to ensure it can go ahead, it has been heavily subsidised through EEF grant money

A learning behaviour is any behaviour that supports learning, such as paying attention or persevering with a tricky task. It is the countless little things done well that characterises ‘good’ behaviour and effective learning. Too often, behaviour is narrowly conceived as how to manage misbehaviour. The very notion of ‘learning behaviours’ reflects the more complex reality of how behaviour manifests itself and what we can do about it.

This suite of training is based upon the rich and diverse evidence base gathered in the EEF guidance reports. This course draws upon the evidence represented in multiple reports: improving behaviour, metacognition and self-regulation, special educational needs in mainstream schools, working with parents, and social and emotional learning.  Successful learning behaviours rely on layering these areas to wrap around each unique learner. Each is part of a puzzle which makes best sense when all parts connect to build long-term protective factors which fosters deep learning and cultivates effective learners.

_{Note the first Module is self-directed. It will take 90 minutes and should be completed before the first face to face session on the 21st April 2022}

Delegates attending this programme will:

• develop a deep understanding of the best evidence available around learning behaviours
• be provided with the tools and processes to explore their school culture and practices
• be provided with guidance on effective implementation and opportunities to plan for positive and sustained change
• explore real life case studies, supporting tools and share practical advice and good practice
• consider the dynamic process and reciprocal influences needed to change a learning behaviour
