What makes a good learner?

We have been learning and discussing what makes a good learner in C6 and at Glenholme School. I was amazed to see some of the responses the students could come up with. They were talking about knowing their learning intentions and success criteria, being focused, listening, and trying their best. In C6 we are all superstar learners, we talked about not having to be the best at everything or in the top groups, but trying our best in our own learning, knowing what the success criteria is and meeting that to be successful in our learning.
