5 Principles to Underpin Learning Away
|
At the first training event organised on 15-16 January 2010, staff from the three schools and Widehorizons Trust agreed the following principles to underpin the innovative framework we are developing for residential learning:
- Allowing structured time for ongoing quality reflection.
- Having clear aims for the residential and planning varied activities to meet them accordingly.
- Allowing all participants ownership of the entire experience.
- Allowing chaos and risk within safe boundaries.
- Planning next steps together on how new skills can be used.
