Learning Power in Practice: A Guide for Teachers

This book puts the findings of the Effective Lifelong Learning Inventory (ELLI) research program into the practical context of the classroom, helping you to find answers to these questions: What kind of learner are you? How can you become a better learner? Including a video, CD-Rom, and flash cards, it demonstrates how to:

• Work out what kind of learner you are
• Improve your learning power, effectively improving results and raising standards
• Understand how the concept of learning power fits in alongside books on accelerated learning, thinking skills and learning styles

The book not only has a section using animal metaphors for younger children, but also presents strategies relevant to secondary school under-achievers.
