Attitude To Learning Grades

This is a description of different approaches to learning. The bulleted list for each grade is an indication of the types of attitude displayed in class. It is a best-fit model, so pupils may not display all of the characteristics in the category. Every child is given an attitude to learning grade each term by their subject teacher. The grade will be recorded on their reports and sometimes in the front of their work book / folder.
