100% of teachers say Limitless Learning improved their knowledge

A new professional learning course is helping teachers improve their knowledge, shift perceptions of pupils' ability and increase pupil engagement.

Developed in partnership by Winning Scotland and Renfrewshire Council, ‘Limitless Learning’ is a growth mindset professional learning programme comprised of 6x 60-minute e-modules and 6x 60-minute twilights.

The objective of the approach is to provide teaching professionals with easily accessible and instantly applicable learning to support the recovery effort following school closures and restrictions.

A cohort of 61 Renfrewshire teachers took part in a numeracy focused version of the course, between January and June 2021. An evaluation report demonstrated a range of positive outcomes including:
​

• Prior to the course 52% of teachers agreed that ‘some people are born with a maths brain’. This drops to 17% post course.
• 100% of teachers felt the course improved their knowledge. 94% felt the course made them a better teacher.
• 11% of pupils reported that they wanted their teacher to set maths problems every day
• 97% of participants completed the entire course.

 
“We’d done some growth mindset work before, but this was like they’d perfected it,” said a transition teacher taking part.
