Building Bridges is a Learning to Learn programme designed to be used either as a transition module for L2 or as an introduction to Learning to Learn. It has been co-written by a team from Alite, is being trialled in London schools and consists of 36 lessons each of 45 minutes. BB is very accessible and has a low reading age.
BB is provided in a similar format to L2 with an introductory teacher manual; electronic resources for every lesson; simplified learner mats for team problem solving, coaching and peer assessment; achievement posters and learner journals for each student (with competency passport).
Building Bridges encourages the philosophy of learning developed in L2 . Pupils learn in a variety of groupings and through problem-solving challenges. Lots of emphasis is placed on small group presentations and on de-briefing the learning processes used. Every lesson has a range of original electronic resources and is designed in the 4 stage cycle. Using the Primary version of PlanEasy2, each BB lesson can be tracked for the 5 Rs, VAK, multiple intelligences, thinking skills and assessment for learning.
