An important part of our identity is our identity as a learner. After reading some of Guy Claxton's research around what good learners do, we decided to share some of it with students in Team Awesome. He has summarised these in a list called "The Magnificent 8".
Students were given the list and worked in groups to:
- Discuss what each of the 8 points meant (this involved looking up lots of new vocabulary)
- Identify things on the list they already do and give examples
- Identify things on this list they don't do and could therefore be a next step
