These resources offer example lessons and a lesson design template that blend curriculum content with the learning power process and make public the learning capacities that pupils are using/ stretching throughout a lesson.
These materials will help teachers to:
- Appreciate how content (the ‘what’) and process (the ‘how’) can be woven together and made explicit to pupils;
- Recognise where and how to incorporate learning-power capacities into a lesson using the ‘9 thinks’ design template;
- Blend learning power capacities into their own lessons whatever the content;
- Deepen their own and their pupils’ understanding of learning power.
