Jackie Beere knows that schools have a much more important job to do
than simply to prepare children for exams. In this book she hands busy
teachers the tools they need to weave personal development into the
curriculum in powerful and exciting ways.
The Complete Learner's Toolkit focuses on the most important skills
identified by the World Economic Forum - including critical thinking,
emotional intelligence and judgement and decision making - and presents
36 lessons that can either be used as stand-alone sessions or be
incorporated into a topic or subject context. Furthermore, they can be
employed in whole-class lessons or when working with individuals/small
groups who need extra support to become more independent, confident
learners.
Jackie has devised each lesson to develop the habits of reflection and
metacognition in all learners, setting them up with the skills they will
need in order to thrive and the emotional intelligence that will help
them pursue a happy future.
To make the most of the material in this book and create the best
outcomes for students, Jackie suggests teachers also treat these lessons
as personal CPD. Doing so can help embed in teachers' day-to-day
practice the skills and mindsets which this book promotes, and so model
them for their students. Teachers can also consider how best to adapt
the lessons in this book and how to incorporate the World Economic Forum
essential skills within their subject specialisms.
Suitable for use with learners aged 7 to 16.
The lesson plans in this book are available as editable PDFs sold under
an annual licence. For more details contact books@crownhouse.co.uk.
