A school induction programme: Reach for the Stars
Reach for the Stars Induction Programme
Running an induction programme for the new intake of year 7 pupils is one of the key ways of ensuring that the enthusiasm and excitement of the newcomers is developed in their first few weeks at school.
One feeling is that if the programme itself has a vitality of its own and incorporates subject matter that excites most young students then it really can have an effect that lasts all through the year, and even beyond.
What’s more, if the induction programme can deal with to the learning habits that underpin Personal, Learning and Thinking skills then it not only results in a positive attitude towards the school in general, but also can have many other benefits too.
One such programme is the “Reach for the Stars” Induction Programme.
Based on the theme of Astronomy, this blended package of resources enables the school to introduce a common approach to learning through a uniquely designed Induction programme for new students and their teachers.
Because the package is ready made it saves hours in terms of design time and preparation, and can gather baseline data for progression in PLTS.
What’s more, it is based upon the building learning power foundations developed by Professor Guy Claxton and can help as part of a whole school approach to foster deeper and more profound learning.
