How can I support my child's Independent Learning?
The national expectation of the work an A Level student should be doing independently follows the 'Carnegie' model - for every hour in a lesson with a teacher, the student should be doing 2 hours of independent work. This independent work can be:
- Prep / Homework
- Preparation for lessons
- Using Private Study sessions
- Revising your knowledge and skills
- Practising your skills
- asking their child about what they have been learning
- asking their child about how they have been researching this further
|
Supplementing class and homework with independent learning is the ONLY way to secure a credible grade.
