Developing learner dispositions isn’t just about what students know—it’s about building their tool box to think, question, and engage with the world around them as a way of coming to understand it. When teachers intentionally nurture learner dispositions, they shift the focus of teaching from 'what to know' to 'how to understand'. Encourage your students to take ownership of their learning, develop critical thinking skills, and build the confidence to navigate challenges. This resource provides practical ways to help you create a classroom environment where curiosity, persistence, and independent thinking are tools to thrive.
