PROFESSOR of Education John Hattie believes in a ‘Growth Mindset’ – positive relationships in the classroom.
Teachers monitoring student progress, providing feedback, assessing how well learning is applied – the core is a strong relationship. Post-pandemic, young people need more one-to-one interactions, more support, more understanding of their point of view. And the Education Endowment Foundation has identified that learning loss is greater in pupils from less advantaged backgrounds.
