About This Book
Offers 40 concrete, practical tools and activities that will supercharge learners' ambition, organisation, persistence and determination. Where some education books focus on how individual teachers might sequence and deliver pieces of information in the clearest, most helpful and supportive way, engaging as many learners as possible, this one is different. This book looks at how you can help learners manage their workload and take control of their own knowledge and skills. It explores the characteristics, qualities and habits of successful students and shares forty replicable tools and tactics that all students can use immediately, both in and out of the classroom â activities that will help them to set goals, work more efficiently, organise their resources, revise more effectively and solve problems. This book is a perfect introduction to the VESPA approach, as well as being a practical addition to previous resources. The VESPA Handbook will help teachers develop the five key characteristics and behaviours that students need to be successful: vision, effort, systems, practice and attitude. When it comes to achieving academic success, these characteristics are crucial. Suitable for teachers, tutors and parents who want to boost academic outcomes in 14â18-year-olds and equip them with powerful tools and techniques in preparation for further education and employment.
