Creating Expert Learners
Getting learners to take the responsibility for managing their own learning
Reasons for attending this programme:
Would you like your learners to take responsibility for managing their own learning and develop a range of skills and strategies in order to get the most out of their programmes? What characteristics, qualities and attitudes are essential for learning effectively? And how can we develop these to create expert learners?
As the variety of learners on our programmes continues to diversify, it is becoming increasingly important to consider how we can support students to become expert learners.
What is this training about?
Exactly what it means to be an ‘expert learner’. This programme looks at the building blocks involved and provides a model to utilise and develop. And we provide practical strategies for classrooms and workshops that enable teachers and tutors that underpin this model.
There is strong evidence that knowing how to learn has a positive impact on attitude to learning and on raising achievement. Supporting learners to develop a range of thinking and learning styles in order to get the most out of their programmes and to take responsibility for managing their own learning is at the core of expert learning.

- The characteristics of ‘expert learners’ and the skills that are required to become one
