Home Secondary Assessment and Reports Attitudes to Learning

Attitudes to Learning

The A2L initiative focuses teachers, students and parents on the learning process. In Secondary, its aims are:

  • to provide a common vocabulary for the discussion of students’ attitudes;
  • to help students take greater personal responsibility for their learning;
  • to help students develop productive study skills and practices;
  • to encourage students to self-critique and resolve issues for themselves.

  Supported Learner A student who displays an inconsistent attitude to learning but accepts support to identify and resolve key issues.
  Engaged Learner A motivated student who willingly seeks assistance to identify and resolve issues.
  Independent Learner A highly motivated student who displays a consistent attitude to learning and is an attentive and reflective learner.
  Mature Learner An independent student who also approaches tasks with the aim of extending his or her learning.
