How do pupils learn?

This module is an introduction to the science of learning. It will include the basics of child development and what we might see at each stage, the key components that need to be in place for new learning to embed and how to create the best learning environment to support learners.

Whilst useful for all classroom based staff, this module may be particularly useful for associate teachers and support staff across early years, primary and secondary phases.

• What are the steps in the process of learning?
• How do children develop and what might we expect at each stage?
