Creating Independent Learners

Course date: 19th Mar 2024

This course is no longer available Live. CLICK HERE to order the Filmed Course for your whole school.

Creating and improving independent learning skills in young children.

ESTYN Inspections are regularly recommending that children improve these skills but how do we achieve this on a day-to-day basis in our schools? Independence is far bigger than children not interrupting teachers……

We must ask ourselves:

What are we doing for these children that they could do for themselves-from the time that they come into school in the morning to the time that they go home?

The course will include many, many different systems routines and real-life examples of good practice. It also includes hints and tips that will enable schools to develop this vital life-long skill in their children.

This course has expired.

Target Group: FP Leaders, SMT, TAs, Teachers

The Creating Independent Learners course will cover many aspects of independence including:

What does an independent child ‘look like’
How can we promote independence across both the school day and all areas of learning?
What are the main barriers to creating independent learners, from an adult’s point of view and also from the children?
How do we model, praise and reward it?
The importance of adult behaviour in promoting independence- not over directing over dominating or over preparing
How to set up a ‘self-help’ classroom-an environment that encourages independence
The difference between a dependent learner and an independent one
Maintaining standards through the promotion of independence

The course also includes time to reflect on your own current practice and gives you time to develop an action plan based on what you are already doing well, what you need to tweak and refine, and what you need to target going forward.
