Personalised Learning

This means that:

• Students have the opportunity to make choices about their learning
• Courses can be tailored to the needs of students
• A student’s career pathway is pivotal when making choices about courses or standards within a course
• Frequent conversations are held with each student about their learning and progress towards the goals they have chosen
• Individual career counselling meetings are held for all year 12 and 13 students

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire” W.B. Yeats

is:

• when students know what they know, how they know it and what they need to learn next
• about making learning more meaningful for learners
• when learners co-create knowledge
• when a differentiated response for the different needs and aspirations of the learner is possible
• when there is an in-depth knowledge of strengths and weaknesses of learners
• when learners receive quality feedback and feed forward
• when there is quality communication with parents

is not:

• just about putting students at the centre of the system
• just learners receiving knowledge
• just subject choice
• just individual learning
