Learning Powers
At Odessa we aim that our pupils will be independent, curious and resilient learners. In light of this we have adopted ‘The Learning Powers’ approach, which was created by Professor Guy Claxton. It is based on the idea that we are all capable of becoming better learners. Teachers have already been introducing this concept to their classes.
So, your child may have already come home saying that they are a ‘Persevering Parrot or Creative Chameleon’ – these animals represent the characteristics of want makes a good learner. We want to share our vision with you and promote the ‘Learning Powers’ both at school and at home.
