Talking About Learning : Using Templates to Find Out Pupil's Views

Research clearly shows that children who understand what they are trying to achieve, and who feel that they have ownership (and understanding) of their own learning, tend to be more successful. "Talking about Learning" has been developed with classroom teachers and is a very practical resource.

This book includes thirty photocopiable templates which will act as a stimulus for discussion about learning, between children, and between children and adults.

Using cartoon representations, children will be encouraged to think about and discuss all aspects of learning and teaching, and their own learning and thinking processes.

The insights that arise will help teachers to tailor teaching to meet different needs in the classroom. "Talking about Learning" explains the thinking behind the templates, provides examples from teachers and suggests how the templates could be used in the classroom, with children of all ages.
