Abstract:
Traditional teaching methods may or may not be good for helping all students get good grades - but they run the risk of cultivating unfortunate attitudes towards learning. In a global job market that needs and rewards independent and adventurous thinkers, some schools are still turning out compliant, dependent test-takers. But over the last few years, new ideas about pedagogy have been emerging simultaneously in dozens of research and development groups around the world. We now know how to help our children get good grades in a way that also develops them as confident, powerful lifelong learners. This new way of teaching is called The Learning Power Approach - and anyone, in any school, with any kinds of students, can make it work.Keywords:
