James Nottingham Workshop - Brisbane
Known by many as the Learning Pit, the Learning Challenge is used around
the world to promote challenge, dialogue and a growth mindset. It was
created by James Nottingham.
The Learning Challenge was designed by co-founder James Nottingham.
The Learning Challenge is for the teachers, leaders and support staff
who wish to guide their students in the development of critical,
creative, caring and collaborative thinking. It is a model that provides
learners with a language to think and talk about learning. It helps
build participants’ resilience, wisdom and self-efficacy. And when it is
used as a structure for learning, it can also improve teacher clarity
and raise expectations of success.
The Learning Challenge (LC) is designed to help students think and talk
about their learning. In some ways, it is a child-friendly
representation of Vygotsky’s (1978) zone of proximal development in that
it describes the move from actual to potential understanding. It can
help develop a growth mindset (Dweck, 2006), prompt people to explore
alternatives and contradictions, and encourage learners to willingly
step outside their comfort zone.
