Succeed at Secondary was written by an experienced teacher to encourage parents to work on learning attitudes. You will do your best to improve learning attitudes and you may become frustrated if you fail to do so. Working closely with parents on learning attitudes will improve learning and make your life easier.

The interaction between learning skills and learning attitudes is the key. Working with parents you can help to shape the ‘inner voice‘ of any child you teach. Influencing a child’s ‘inner voice’ is easier when you CONNECT. When parents and teachers work together, using the same language, children are more likely to listen.

The I.C.E. Approach is not a quick fix. It takes a lot of time and effort to change attitudes. However, you will be surprised at how much difference you can make with a slight change in focus. When home and school are working together on ‘being organised’ ‘going out of your comfort zone’ ‘concentration’ etc., real progress will be made.
