The three Characteristics of Effective Teaching and Learning When we see a baby in their cot, we’re looking at ‘the greatest mind that has ever existed, the most powerful learning machine in the universe.’ We can help children become even more powerful learners through three Characteristics of Effective Teaching and Learning: • playing and exploring - I investigate and experience things, and ‘have a go’. • active learning – I concentrate and keep on trying even when I encounter difficulties. I enjoy achieving. • creating and thinking critically – I am learning to develop my own ideas, make links between ideas, and develop strategies for doing things.
