Explaining our Learning Behaviours Continuum.

Learning behaviours are transferable, lifelong skills that are utilised by everyone to be successful 

Learning Behaviour Continuum Overview

Students and staff have co-created the Learning Behaviour continuum to support everyone to grow their skills to engage positively in their learning at school, outside of school and beyond.  The learning behaviours are transferable, lifelong skills that are utilised by everyone to be successful, whatever role that they find themselves doing.

At multiple points during the year, students reflect on their learning behaviours, evaluate themselves against the continuum and set actionable next steps. Teachers also make judgements on interim and semester reports. Teachers support students in class to develop their learning behaviours.

 This behaviour is about being organised and prepared so that you can get the most from your time. Beyond school, this means you`re able to manage your life, regardless of the role you find yourself in. 

Specifically, this time, we`re focusing on the first of the three ‘micro-behaviours’. 

 a.  Using Learning Tools to aid organisation. 

 AT SCHOOL, being able to stay organised with materials and due dates is important. Learning tools include the resources and platforms that are used to prepare for learning. Examples include having a list of required materials in a locker, a physical or digital diary or planner, scheduled reminders and having MS Teams notifications turned on.

BEYOND SCHOOL, having, and being able to use the right tools to keep organised is critical. Tradespeople need to know when and where to turn up, and which equipment and materials to bring for a job.  A retailer has to know how much stock they have and what needs to be ordered. Keeping track of what is happening when is what this behaviour is all about.

Here are what this micro-behaviour can look like at each level of the Positive Learning Behaviour Continuum

Students can access additional supporting resources on the ‘LBM Supporting website*’, accessible via the Compass -School Favourites menu (Star at top right). This resource allows students to pinpoint their current level and provides example strategies to grow this learning.
