The A Level Mindset programme identifies common practices which lead to success at A level and asserts that these five elements can be learned.
The acronym 'VESPA' is used as a simple way to remember each aspect.
V = Vision How well do you know what you want to achieve?
E = Effort How many hours of independent work do you do per week?
S = Systems How do you organise your learning and time?
P = Practice What kind of work do you do to practise your skills?
A = Attitude How do you respond to setbacks?
Research has shown that teaching students these five skills, results in more and more students get better and better grades.
