The Learning Challenge - James Nottingham
I was introduced to The Learning Challenge when I attended James Nottingham's sessions. The Learning Challenge "sits comfortably alongside John Hattie's Visible Learning, Carol Dweck's Growth Mindset, Matthew Lipman's P4C and Biggs and Collis's SOLO taxonomy". I don't know what P4C and SOLO taxonomy is yet but I will start researching! I feel that this will be our next study because it goes perfectly with how to motivate our kids to want to deal with challenges, find perseverance, make mistakes, etc.
The Learning Challenge promotes challenge, dialogue, and a growth mindset. It offers participants the opportunity to think and talk about their own learning. It encourages a depth of inquiry that moves learners from surface-level knowledge to deep understanding.
We are not delving into this right now because I want us to thoroughly work with our students about developing a growth mindset this year and educating our parents.
Below are some websites or blogs that you can go today if you wish to start learning more about The Learning Challenge!
