• Not a new concept:
Personal, Learning + Thinking Skills
• Independent learning skills
• Learners’ social interactions
• Making the link between ideas
• Transferring knowledge of patterns
• NOT a government initiative-focus for good practice
How can PLTS help?

Embedding PLTS the BLP Way
Building Learning Power, Guy Claxton
“The 6 clusters of qualities are more than Skills that can be trained... The point is to cultivate these qualities into becoming dispositions, or habits of mind... Cultivation of the PLTS should run through the curriculum, life and ethos of the school, like lettering through a stick of rock”
Powerpoint TemplatesPage 17
Embedding PLTS the BLP Way
The 4 Rs
• Resilience: absorption, managing distractions, noticing, perseverance;
• Resourcefulness: questioning, making links, imagining, reasoning, capitalising;
• Reflectiveness: planning, revising, distilling, meta-learning;
• Reciprocity: interdependance, collaboration, empathy and listening.
Powerpoint TemplatesPage 18
SOLO TaxonomyStands for Structures of Observed Learning Outcomes
Developed by Biggs and Collis in 1982
Describes levels of increasing complexity in a student’s understanding of a subject
With the highest level being the extended abstract level, when students can make connections not only within the given area but also beyond it.
Students will also be able to generalise and transfer the principles and ideas to another area.
Are we allowing our students to make these connections? http://hooked-on-thinking.com/

Strategies for Embedding PLTS
• Aiming to deliver a wide variety of tasks in
a varied way: impact on resource design and nature of interactions in classroom;
• Opportunities highlighted in SoWs & examples of activities shared;
• Focus on developing students’ skills in an integrated way and student independence.
Powerpoint TemplatesPage 21
Strategies for Embedding PLTS
• Introducing Meta-language to talk about learning: mats, display
• Overlaps with AFL and SEAL: understanding of assessment criteria, motivation…
• Training of support staff like FLAs• Focus on developing PLTS as a wholeschool

Qui va souffrir de problèmes de santé et pourquoi?
Je m’appelle Béatrice. J’ai quatorze ans. Je suis stressée parce que je suis toujours en train d’étudier et je ne peux jamais me relaxer.
Je me fais du souci à cause des examens et je ne dors pas bien pendant la semaine. Cependant, le weekend, je dors pratiquement tout le temps.
Je m’appelle Xavier et j’ai quinze ans. J’habite dans le nord de la France avec mon grand-père.
J’adore faire du sport mais pourtant je bois trop de café, ce qui n’est pas bon pour la santé.
Mes parents fument et cela me préoccupe beaucoup.
Je suis un peu gros et je ne suis pas du tout en forme.
Mes amis boivent trop et prennent des drogues. Ils essayent de m’entraîner à faire cela aussi.
Il y a deux ans, ma grand-mère est morte d’un cancer des poumons.
Je devrais faire plus d’exercice et manger moins. Il faut aussi que je mange plus de légumes.
Vendredi dernier, nous sommes allés au MacDo.
Avant, je faisais du footing tous les jours dans le parc avec mon cousin.
Je dois travailler beaucoup maintenant car j’ai beaucoup d’examens à la fin de l’année. Je n’ai pas assez travaillé pendant l’année et maintenant j’ai peur de rater mes examens.
