Graham Powell - Newcomers Workshop

The Learning Power Approach (LPA) uses a distillation of international research into how young people learn based on the exemplary practice of many teachers working in a variety of contexts across the age and ability range.

The focus of LPA lies in the development of those learning habits that all young people need in school and will need in their lives beyond compulsory education. These proven approaches assure student motivation and high levels of achievement.

Mike Hughes Magenta Principles - Newcomers

The Magenta Principles is an umbrella phrase that refers to a philosophy and an approach to teaching based upon the premise that learning should be both exciting and engaging.

More specifically the phrase represents a pedagogy underpinned by a belief that:

Learning is a consequence of thinking … therefore our job is to get them to think
Language is central to thinking … therefore our job is to get them to talk
Learning is an active process … therefore our job is to get them doing

While we talk about Magenta Principals, in reality, there is only one principle - In order to make sense of information that comes their way, students are required to do something to or with it.
