Radical Encouragement is an approach to developing dispositions, skills and strategies for better thinking and learning. It combines tried-and-tested work on thinking skills, coaching, dispositions or ‘habits of mind’ and philosophy in schools. This book provides an overview of all the components of Radical Encouragement illustrated by the inspiring work of NRAIS (Northumberland Raising Aspirations in Society) – an independent local educational organisation working with teachers, learners, parents and community groups. The NRAIS project, and the strategies developed within it are relevant to all initiatives that aim to foster independent learning, thinking skills and emotional resilience.
‘Our school has benefited significantly from NRAIS over the past three years. The strategies have had a very positive impact on standards of teaching and learning in classes of teachers who have used them. This year we have noticed a big improvement in the oracy of Year 5 children on transfer from first schools who have done philosophy. The quality of their questioning has risen dramatically.’ Dave Watson, Headteacher, Tweedmounth Middle School, Berwick-on-Tweed.
