Professor Guy Claxton, speaking at the 2012 Graham Nuthall Annual Lecture: Traditional education aims to raise standards by any means, but we are coming to see that preparing young people for tests, and preparing them for life, are different goals. How do we deepen learning so that it systematically builds the learning dispositions that the next generation will need? As work on ‘key competencies’ and ‘21st century skills’ evolves it is becoming clearer just what it takes to raise standards in a way that helps kids be ready for anything.
Professor Guy Claxton, Co-Director of the Centre for Real-World Learning and Professor of the Learning Sciences at the University of Winchester, was in Christchurch recently delivering the 2012 Graham Nuthall Lecture. After the lecture CORE Education's Keryn Davis had the chance to ask Guy about the key messages he had for teachers wanting to deepen learning and build learning dispositions.
