Teaching Concept part 3: Listening Before Teaching Changes Everything

Before we explain, we listen.

Listening helps us understand:

• What the child already knows
• Where misconceptions exist
• How they prefer information delivered

This allows teaching to be targeted, not rushed.

Confidence is not a reward after success.
It is a requirement before success.

When a child feels understood:

• They attempt more
• They ask questions
• They persist through difficulty

This is where learning truly begins.

At Anselhill Academy, personalisation is not a feature.
It is the foundation.

Once a child feels understood, teaching becomes effective.
And only then does learning move from effort to experience.
