Ready for Learning at Muckhart Primary School: R4L<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the last few years, we have worked hard to create learning spaces that are calm, safe, neutral and de-cluttered.<\/p>\n

We worked with Educational Psychology team to complete an environmental audit.\u00a0 We looked at the research behind the Clacks Readiness for Learning approach and decided this was a good opportunity to move with the times and to make our classrooms R4L. We visited another school in Alloa who had already adopted this approach.\u00a0 As well as de-cluttering, Parent Council paid for the rooms to be decorated. This enabled us to make the classrooms and hallway more fluid in the hope that children would learn between the areas.<\/p>\n

The R4L approach is based on helping all children and young people regulate \u2013 or manage \u2013 their brains at times of stress; to help them feel safe, settled and ready to learn. The approach is about using the best practice from Attachment Theory, Nurture Principles, Trauma Informed Approaches and the Neurosequential Model to help children become the best learners they can be. The R4L approach supports the structure and delivery of the curriculum.<\/p>\n

Alongside calm spaces, the research advocates children have access to calming and alerting resources.\u00a0 Research suggests fluid seating can support learners by allowing them to work independently, in small groups or in pairs.\u00a0 In order to promote self-regulation we have begun to learn about the Zones of Regulation – encouraging children to understand and manage their emotions to get themselves into the “green” zone and Ready to Learn!<\/p>\n
