BLP

Building Learning Power

Building Learning Power’s main focus is helping young people to become better learners. Enabling young people to become emotionally engaged, use resources to the full, engage socially and take responsibility for their own learning.

In order for this a new range of vocabulary is being introduced. For example persevere, collaborate, question, revise which are not new words in themselves but within a whole school environment they may not have been given meaning before.

One of the key things about “BLP” ethos is the fact that not only is it ok to get stuck or not know the answer, but that it is a recognised tool for finding out the answers.

The key words for parents to look out for are: RECIPROCITY, REFLECTIVENESS, RESOURCEFULNESS and RESILIENCE. They represent the four aspects of learning; Emotional, Cognitive, Strategic and Interpersonal.
