Explicit Instruction Delivers Learning. Learnership Develops Learners.

Across many schools, Explicit Instruction has sharpened teaching and improved results—yet too many students remain passive, dependent performers. This white paper reframes improvement through the Learning Equation—Skilful Teaching × Skilful Learning—positioning Learnership as the missing multiplier that turns short-term achievement into long-term capability. 

• Why improved teaching isn’t enough unless students build the capabilities to learn skilfully (agency, adaptability, self-direction). 
• The five core elements of Learnership—Challenge, Mistakes, Habits of Mind, Feedback, and Effort—and how they make learning growth-producing. 
• How Learnership prevents the “performance trap” (students who succeed only under tight guidance) and grows antifragile, self-improving learners. 
• Practical implications for leaders and teachers: what to notice, measure, and cultivate so learners thrive beyond structured lessons.
