This book asks children to involve themselves in key questions about learning and develops their self-awareness as self-critical thinkers and learners. It asks:

• Howdowethinkandtalkaboutlearning?• Whatis‘bouncebackability’andhowdoyougetit?• Howcanwemakesureourteamlearningishighquality?• Howdoesmakingchoiceshelpustobecomemore responsibleforourownlearning?

Ofsted has observed how children ‘really enjoyed learning’ in a school using the guidebook. Hundreds of schools and thousands of children have used the questions and ideas from the ‘Think Like a Learner’ approach and the authors, Diana Pardoe and Tom Robson have now turnedthem into a workbook for children aged 7-13.

Carol Dweck has shown how important children’s self-concept as learners is to their performance, no matter what their ability and Bob Burden’s Myself As a Learner Scale (MALS) can show how children’s self-concept as learners can grow after engaging with the book. A child’s ability to reflect on their own thinking is now recognised as critical to them becoming resilient and successful learners.
