Personalizing Learning: Transforming Education for Every Child

Personalizing Learning: Transforming Education for Every Child

by JohnWest-Burnham (Author), Max Coates (Author), John West-Burnham (Author)

Synopsis

Most schools have improved significantly over the past ten years. The quality of teaching is better than it has ever been and yet there is a sense that schools are still not meeting the needs of all young people. The answer to this challenge is personalizing learning; a switch from the school to the learner - from the needs of the system to the needs of the person. This book presents both a manifesto and a model for the personalization of learning. It combines emerging theories of learning with best professional practice to support schools in developing their own way of moving from improvement to transformation.
