Synopsis

Building Learning Power in Action shows how some schools have embraced BLP, and captures the exciting effects it is having in classrooms. Case studies and examples illustrate how BLP transforms learning and teaching, giving students a language to talk about, understand and grow their learning habits. The schools featured here are just a few representatives for the many teachers, teaching assistants, learning mentors and local authority staff who have taken part in TLO s Building Learning PowerTM programme getting to grips with the principles of BLP, and being encouraged to release their creativity in putting those principles into action in their classrooms.
