“In education this can be understood as personalised learning – the drive to tailor education to individual need, interest and aptitude so as to fulfil every young person’s potential" M. Horne
There are a series of key elements which learning organisations need to take account of when devising a programme of activities to cater for and address the personalised learning agenda. These key elements include the following:
Currency Value of Education
• Narrowing the attainment gap – building equity of esteem
• Addressing needs of different student groups (segmentation)
• Supporting students from low Socio Economic Groups (SEG)
• Every child supported to reach minimum standards in English and Maths
Enhancing Potential
• Pupil should be given opportunities to develop skills in managing their own learning - they should develop capabilities ‘to learn how to learn’.
• The process of ‘learning to learn’ entails a large reservoir of learning practices designed to enhance the individual’s capacity to monitor, evaluate, control and change how one thinks and learn.
Capacity Building
• This means that learners become skilled in
• Making learning an object of Awareness
• Making learning an object of Discussion
• Making learning an object of Expression
• Making learning an object of Erudition
•
Assessment for Learning is the best evidenced approach to promoting these skills and can take place in a variety of settings and through a range of well orchestrated and designed curriculum learning opportunities such as:
· Super Learning Days
· Drop Down Days
· Thematic Projects
· Enhanced Subject Developments
· Themed Collaboration
Rhinoss can provide guided learning seminars for teachers to facilitate the planning and co-ordination of these events.
