What is behaviour for learning?
A learning behaviour is something that allows a child to learn effectively in the group setting of a classroom. In addition to helping them in school, children and students should develop these behaviours or skills to be:
- Prepared for life beyond school
- Able to adapt to new environments and learn new things
This is explained in this blog from the EEF.
Developing behaviour for learning includes gaining emotional, social, and cognitive skills
Emotional strand - where children are able to: Name their emotions/feelings and express them accurately Manage impulses of personal behaviour Show pride in successes and build confidence Develop resilience Social strand - where children are able to: Focus on learning in class Pay attention to directions and listen to the teacher Show empathy and sustain relationships with adults and peers Cognitive strand - where children are able to: Organise time and space for their own learning Set goals and monitor
