It can help to think about three aspects of learning. Skills to develop, knowledge to take away and perhaps most importantly, learning behaviours and characteristics.
Here are some examples:
Skills:
- To be able to throw and shape a pot on a wheel.
- To be able to groom and tack up a nervous horse.
- To be able to control and time a serve.
Knowledge:
- To know the difference between the queen, the worker and the drone honey bees.
- To know a range of opening moves in chess.
- To know the creation of the world according to Norse mythology.
Behaviours:
- Develop focus and concentration.
- Practice seeking helpful feedback.
- Work persistently through challenges.
