What do we want?
• If we want pupils to be successful, responsible and confident learners they need to come across inspirational teachers
• Our expectations need to be high enough to allow the learners to take more responsibility for their own learning
• We need to believe that deep learning is better than coverage
TRedu (c)
Our pupils need to
• Be challenged and get it wrong…….and
then get over it!
• Work collaboratively so they can influence
each other ….positively
• Recognise when they have a problems
and take responsibility for dealing with it

What about us?
Thinking about learning…
How would you describe yourself as a
learner?
What do you feel are your strengths?
What do you think you need to improve…..and
how might you do it?
Bud Blake, from the “Tiger” series
What is learning?
Let’s think about it.....
How do learners define learning?
finding out new thingspractising and practising
working stuff outmaking you clever
Learning is ...
a significant change in capability or understanding
Professor EmeritusMichael Eraut
So what are teachers for…
to tell you stuff to help you to look after you
to give you the answersto teach you
to tell you off
to get you a good education
“A teacher is one who makes herself/himself progressively unnecessary.”
Thomas Carruthers
Nicola Call and Sally Featherstone
