Strategies for Success

We have been working with a company called Learning Performance who have created a series of interactive and motivational student workshops for our Year 11 students, which are designed to support in shaping independent, confident and motivated individuals, who love to learn.
The aims of the 12 workshops are:

  • To empower students to take control over their learning through the use of independent learning skills
  • To make learning easier by equipping students with effective metacognitive strategies
  • To improve recall and retrieval through the use of evidence based memory tools.
  • To build students’ confidence, self–belief and resilience so they learn from mistakes and self-regulate learning
  • To raise aspirations for the future

Each workshop includes a video and accompanying work booklet.
